And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oddly enough, my home internet came back on without my doing anything at all last night. So maybe my router is fine and the problem was with Cablevision. (I never bothered calling them because the way that usually goes is I spend half an hour on hold and then give up. So this time I skipped to the end.)

Eep! The Apple Store just came back online and the new Shuffles are freaking ADORABLE. I have no use for one, but I totally want it! Damn you, Apple!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It speaks!!! Whoa.
Also, I'm so amused that it's 4 GB for $79, because I still have an ancient 4 GB iPod Mini (still has a B/W screen, that's how old it is) that cost WAY more than $79.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The very first hard-drive-based mp3 players were 4 or 5 GB, right? I almost bought one of those.
Someone brought one to the first F2F in Evanston, I recall....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That may have been me. I bought a 5GB iPod in 2002.

Nah, that F2F was in 2001, right? What was the company that made that player? It was much bigger than an iPod and sorta' round shaped.
Ah, go here and scroll down: Creative Nomad Jukebox
This $500 player was a big hit for Creative. It had a 6GB hard drive, and despite the size it sold great numbers. The Nomad Jukebox was one of the best MP3 players ever made both sound quality wise and feature wise, with more features than you find on many MP3 players even today.
Beside the headphone jack, it had two line-out jacks and a line-in jack. It had a parametric equalizer, spatialization settings and environmental settings which allowed you to adjust output according to what kind of room you were in. It even came with real headphones and not the standard plugs normally included with players.
My first hard-drive-based mp3 player was the Archos Jukebox Multimedia - it was 20 GB.

I had a 128MB Rio MP3 player way back in the day. By the time I went to Best Buy to get a bigger memory card, that kind of flash memory had been all but discontinued and it was cheaper to just buy a whole new player.

Yeah, the Rio was my first MP3 player. I bought the memory card shortly after buying the Rio. With the memory card, its memory was in two separate spaces, and you had to upload songs to either built-in memory or card memory. (So to completely load it required two operations.)
The most annoying thing was the battery latch wasn't very good, and was always popping open.
