My Mother bought me 4 hand blown glass Coca-Cola Christmas tree ornaments (I collect Coke stuff), a carton of cigarettes and an Apple iPod MP3 player. The iPod was a last minute decision, and as awesome as it is, I'm not a real big MP3 person. She get's a PC magazine called "On" (I think) that comes free with her Time magazine subscription. A recent issue was proclaiming the best PC things of 2001. When it came to best gadget, they selected Apple's iPod, and appologized to their Windows readers for doing so, but insisted their was no equal, and that they really had no choice. This so impressed my Mom that she went and bought me one. She knows that I am a pure Mac addict, and figured I'd love it, especially since even the PC folks are aknowledging it as being best. I do love it, and am actually fascinated by it, but I only have around 90 MP3's on my Mac, and this thing holds over 1000. I'm also not really sure when I would use it. I have stereos in every room of my house, and a nice system in my truck. When am I going to need 1000 MP3's? I guess I need to start playing with it and see what happens. That's always worked in the past.
I bought myself a new roll-a-way for my tune-up tools, and am going to buy a Bissel carpet cleaner tomorrow (unless anyone can convince me of a better one. Please do if you know of one!).
Take care,
