My 30GB iPod is great! I wanted to get a Nano, but Circuit City was out of stock and an urgency of need outweighed the wait. For $50 more, I figured why not get the 30GB.
Just where am I going to find 7,500 songs, 25,000 photos, and 75 hours of video? CDs I have and maybe that's only 800-900 songs. I do have some DVDs, so I will download two to see how it goes. I will download "Silence of the Lambs" (A census taker tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Th-th-th-th-th!) and "Touching the Void" (SIMON!).
Photos? I have plenty of those on CDs, too.
I asked the Circuit City associate all kinds of questions. I am not much of a techno-geek, but I am working on it. I used their no interest plan and I got a few accessories. They also threw in $15 of music to download from iTunes. At 99 cents a pop, I am going to make my list of hard-to-get-songs. A vast majority of my music CDs are "best of" or "greatest hits" so I am pretty much covered.
I went to the Apple Store at Fashion Island to get a Speck Tough Skin Case since Circuit City didn't have any at any of their stores. It has a belt clip and I figure that is good enough for me.
I will use my iPod for use during those moments when I want to rock my brains out listening to Metallica or relax listening to the sounds of Japanese classical music.
Use while running, biking or hiking? Never! I intend to keep "in tune" with what is around me.
Besides...
Wouldn't be prudent.
