If you like music....ya gotta get an IPOD...

[Craig in Alabama]

Got Cory one for Xmas and its the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Holds 7500 songs, and you can watch videos and I don't know what else it will do but its neat. I've already download more songs than he has for it....although most will stay on the computer for me when I want to burn a CD.

... download some pod-casts of Shawn Hannity, Laura Ingram, and Rush Limbaugh. Intermix it with some CNN and net work Sunday shows so he hears issues from the left and right.

I got her a NANO, it is the first name brand thing she ever asked for.

But back to IPODs. Yes, they are tiny and hold lots of songs but apple really gets you by the _______!!!!!!!

IPODs used to ship with a recharger, not any more. That will be an extra $40 if you do not want to plug it into your computer for hours.

No replaceable batteries. When the permanent ones do not take a charge any more, another $65

And last but not least you have to have the most up to date computer to even load songs on it. My home computer is W98, it runs great and is fast. I do not plan on replacing it soon. IPODS need 2000 or XP that would be another $200 for the software and another $150 for more RAM.

Well to make a long rant shorter I brought it to my office and loaded it here.

As far as I am concerned Apple can take a flying leap. Apple used to be for the little guy not any more.
