The iPod video is very thin and light relative to earlier iPods. The display is bright and easy to read. The battery life sucks compared to my earlier iPod. I held onto my 20 GB 4th gen iPod. The new iPods don't have firewire. Although I hadn't had the iPod long enough to learn how to use the feature, you can boot a computer off them. And that's a useful feature for someone who does troubleshooting. So I held onto my old one even though I meant to either sell it or give it to a friend.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Mine is (oh please please please be the proper tense) 3G. Pre-clickwheel even. And the 15G was really enough room. Not for everything I owned but enough for everything I wanted portable.
If I have to replace, the 40G click looks good. The price diff between it and the 20G are small enough that I might as well get the larger.

I don't know that I'd use the video feature either, but the difference between a color screen and the monochrome one I have is huge in terms of visibility, just for reading the names of tracks. Plus, it comes in black.

Well, I hope your current iPod is resuscitated. But if you get a new one I agree that it's worth the extra money for a larger drive.

Happy Birthday, Windsparrow!!!
Then I'm done smoking.
Woo Hoo!!! You can do it, Nicole!!!
I lasted about an hour and a half at a family party, when my mother suggested I leave before I hurt somebody. Families can be so annoying.

WTF, sj? How would you hurt them? Unless they were so annoying you finally took a crutch to them in intellectual self-defense? In which case, call me, I'll help you hide the bodies.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
WTF, sj? How would you hurt them?
Because a couple of them were being so obnoxiously prejudiced that I was likely visibly fuming. I just can't stand it. Especially when I hear the words of the older generation coming out of my 17 year old cousin's mouth. He was a very bright, sweet child, and they have essentially ruined him.

Yes, this is what my mother was trying to avoid.

Well, can't blame a mom for wanting to save her kid some jail time. I, on the other hand, will plot with you for ways to get even with the bigots.

Thanks, for the record, this is not my whole family. Most of them are good people.
