Drink Rum

After years and years of complete and total hatred of all things Apple... I finally collapsed and purchased my first and hopefully only Apple product.

I now am the proud owner of an iPod. Just typing the word iPod makes me throw up a little in my mouth, but alas, the time has come to get a digital media player.

After my flight to Seattle, I realized that using my twelve pound laptop as an mp3 player was just silly. While it's fun to watch movies on and/or play games... it's a boat anchor of a carry-on. And while I'll still carry it on flights, it'll now find itself in the overhead so in case I need it, I can play, but I can listen to music and watch mini-movies on the weightless iPod.

I've been fiddling around with it a bit and it seems fairly nice. I got a black one which helped with the decision making. Apple tends to make anti-butch gear for some reason. Although if they'd come up with one that had neon or blue LCD glow on it, I'd buy it. (I love my blacklight/UV PC case)

So... I can no longer call myself a non-appler. With my luck, the iPod will last me 100 years and give me no problems. We'll see.

Now I've got to go rip some muzak. Also, does anyone know how the iPod will handle being hooked up to a different system with a different iTunes library? My laptop has a library (now synced with iPod) but my PC has another library all its own that I'd like to import to the iPod.

I guess I'll just plug it in and see what it does.
