I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, I have an 8g iTouch (bought new in August)

I am quite happy with it -- connecting with Wifi to get online, check emails, watch YouTube is easy when you live in a city, video quality is better than our TV.

Okay, you folks have convinced me (or confirmed my decision)! I have to go for the 32g one, though, because I'm going to want to keep photos, etc. on it in addition to music and such.

How limited is the Windows 7 Starter Edition (compared to, say, XP Home, and on a netbook does it really matter)? I've been thinking about a Black Friday netbook myself.

Steph, I have the 32G one. If you go lower than that, you lose some functionality with the Touch. I was trying to decide between the 32G and the 64G. The 32G is nice and light, so I'm glad I got that one.

That's right -- I remember reading that in a CNet review. Hell, when I bought my ancient iPod mini 4 years ago, it was a refurb, and it was still ~$210-ish, IIRC. For a 4G mini. So $279 for a *new* 32G Touch is fine w/me.

Gah. There's an Apple store in the mall across the street from my office, and, being Instant Gratification Girl, I really want to go get one NOW.

I got Fast Video Converter for free, and am allowed to give away the license key to 10 people. I don't know anyone else who might want to use it, so I thought I'd share it here.

I'd love it, but I would need to download to the home computer and I'm sure that it will get snatched up by the time I get home.

I'm not sure I qualify as a lurking Buffista, but Deena I'd love to use the key. I've been curious about this software for a while now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I love my ASUS netbook. I agree with the recommendation to try out as many keyboards and configurations as possible. I couldn't have coped with a smaller keyboard.

Sure, ehab, feel free! Vortex, you could always call dibs on one, right?
