Although, shouldn't she check the RAM buffer each drive offers? That would aid with speed of accessing, no?

Hello, clever peoples!
I have two questions to put to your mighty tech hivemind:
1) So if a person wanted to ahem mp3s from the internets onto her mac, how should she go about it?
2) Is it worth buying an iPhone? I'm tempted, because they're soooo shiny, but I suspect that I'm being foolish. Thoughts? Alternative suggestions? (Really, I want a phone to be a phone, a camera maybe, an MP3 player, and to look pretty. And I want the internet, but really should probably not be trusted with it, because I have NO self restraint...)

Fay, you absolutely NEED an iPhone.
I updated last night and had no problems. Even installed a few new (free) apps. Looks pretty cool!

I've updated my Touch but haven't had time to install any apps. Anyone want to recommend a few?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
CityTransit isn't great, but it's still necessary.
Remote is awesome.

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

There's a free app to look up movies and their show times, which will also give you their Rotten Tomato rating. You do have to be able to connect to the interweebs to use it, though, so it's only relatively useful for iTouch-havers like me.
Where? which is a location-based lookup also looks cool, but once again the connectivity requirement gives me little joy.
You know what I really want? Some kind of Graphiti interface which will let me use the simplified alphabet from the Palm in place of the typewriter with the letters far too close together.

is there a word/excel type of app for the iPhone? I couldn't find any, but eyes are a bit tired.
