My iPod is 5th generation, just over 5 years old.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's also easy for me to got to the Apple store, but that's the site that got me thinking I might do it myself. Of course, it might just be my first digital download from the library that's causing the battery-dying problem, I'll test tonight.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I ended up putting it in a table and then adding line numbers.
Woo! New Word skills acquired.

So I'm teaming up with my folks to get my niece a new laptop for her college graduation gift. She's going to Spain for the next year, so I think a smaller laptop would be best. I was looking at something in the $600 range, like one of the larger netbooks maybe. I don't think she needs anything high-powered, she's not going to be gaming, but she will want to run Skype and stream video and so forth, as well as email and probably do grad-school applications on it.
Anyone have any recommendations? Any particular issues I should be aware of? She mentioned wanting a dual-core processor so she would be able to stream video.

Yes, I think so Jon, which is why, a the time, I picked up one or three.

My new Thinkpad isn't here yet unfortunately so I can't really give opinions on it, but the 14" model might fit the bill. It starts at $550 (webcam is a $30 options when customizing so call it $580) and has a Core i3 processor (dual-core) so it should be able to handle pretty much anything she's talking about.
