Well I got my new iPod in, and have already spent more on CD's than I did all last year... gotta fill those extra 16 gigs.

The iBook I bought my GF for her b'day came in as well. It's pretty sweet, but I'm glad that when I was looking I opted for the powerbook. It'll suit her fine though as the main reason for getting it was the six Sims expansion packs she got at xmas where bogging down the Ruby iMac.

I maxed out the memory on the iBook at 1.25GB and threw another gig in my machine so hopefully gameplay will be smoother on BF.

We also picked up a Macally BT mouse JR for the iBook, and it is replacing my recommendation of the Kensington Pocketmouse Bluetooth for a bluetooth mouse, mostly because IT IS THE EXACT SAME MOUSE FOR LESS! Looks like the same OEM with a different finish-- in all other respects they are identical. Oh, except that the Macally is twenty dollars cheaper, locally available, and silver as opposed to blue.

getting all my cds in mp3 format was way worth the time... i've got hours and hours of depeche mode and the cure :D

I had a first gen iPod before (passed it on to my GF) but always had to swap out playlists, which was a pain. I only have twelve gigs of music, so now I have plenty of space for new tunes!

I started with all the Pixies LPs (been making do with Death to the Pixies), a few of the Elvis Costello albums that are being re-released by Rhino, the Subpop Radio Birdman release, and a couple Junior Brown CDs... I love getting new music!
