Kate, try calling the local Apple store and seeing if they're selling the discontinued ones. It might even be cheaper.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sue, you're brilliant.
It's cold and wet here. I'm wrapped in my bathrobe and wearing slippers and I'm still chilly. I should get a blanket.
Refurbished old model iPods
Thanks! I knew I could count on you all. Although, the idea of buying a previously-owned piece of very expensive and maybe kind of delicate hardware makes me a little nervous. People here have had good luck with refurbished Apple products, right? Will explore options tomorrow.
Hey, congrats Allyson!
By the way, what is your book? A novel? Memoir? I seem to have missed a post or 2.
Pastafarians, rejoice!
World's oldest noodles unearthed:
The remains of the world's oldest noodles have been unearthed in China.
The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.
Radiocarbon dating of the material taken from the Lajia archaeological site on the Yellow River indicates the food was about 4,000 years old.
I think the old 60GB was $379, but I could be wrong.
I think it was $399. It's $369 if you have an education discount.
And definitely call the Apple store. And if they aren't willing to sell them, call other stores that carry them. I know Costco had them for $379 last time I looked (over the weekend).
The ump made a good call in the Sox-Angels game. Why the hell didn't Josh Paul tag him out? WTF?
