It's a 160 GB drive, I think.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain I've got a drive of that size in the shop. Mark should know where they are. There might even be a 250 GB in there somewhere.

I think I just crushed the spirit of a co-worker who came to show me his new iPhone. He had no idea there was a new one (probably) coming out in a month...

Compassionately intolerant

Speaking of iphones, I feel guilty for even asking this, but I've recently acquired some audiobooks in a format readable by itunes. (mpeg-4)

However, once I put the chapters in a playlist on itunes, I can't seem to transfer them to my inactive iphone.

It isn't imperative, of course, but it sure would be nice. What am I not understanding about the technology and is there a way around it?

I don't know about audiobooks, but I noticed that I used to be able to make a playlist of podcast episodes so that they would run continuously through to the next one on my iPod as well as my computer, but now I can't seem to do that anymore. Either it won't put the playlist on my iPod at all, or, if I add it to an existing playlist with songs, only the songs will show up on my iPod.

So annoying because now when a podcast ends on my iPod, it puts the menu all the way back to the first "music" level.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
