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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, the only I would warn you about is that some hard drives require more power than a USB port can give. So you might have to get an external power source.
The external drive needs to be plugged in anyway.

I've been pretty certain about this eventually happening.

in a fit of boredom during a very slow tech rehearsal, I almost purchased an iPhone on line. Apparently you can't get it engraved like the regular ipods?!? Screw that, I'll buy one local and have instant gratification!
So, um. Question. What accesories do the iPhone/peer presssure folks recomend? Is the belkin headphone extender worth it? I've seen bad reviews. What about a skin or belt carry case thingie? any thing to avoid? anything you like?

I've got the Belkin headphone extender. What are the bad reviews of it saying to use instead? Yeah, it's a bit long, but, um, isn't the other option to not have working headphones other than the crappy Apple ones?

there was talk of static, and too long, too ugly, blah blah blah.
What about carry case? cover? belt cover?

I had one of the silicone cases but it ended up stretching so I took it off. I'm actually looking for a new case now.
I've not had any static on my Belkin adapter. Once again, is there another option? I've not really looked too hard for other options.

that's what I thought, but wasn't sure. So best to avoid it then. Was it from squishing in and out of pocket?

I think it was just the day to day use that caused the case to loosen.

I'm leaning towards this for a carry case: [link] Based on iPod use, a hard shell carry case is just bulky and a waste.
Is there need for a screen protector film thingie?
