An investment in my own selfish self
I purchased my iPod online today. It's the 20 GB model, and after my student discount I got it for a little under $300.
They threw in free laser embossing on the back, so here's how it's supposed to look:
I bought it for several reasons, as follows:
1.) I really, really wanted one, and I am able to afford it.
2.) I'd like to be able to listen to music to the way to work, while I'm at work, and on my way back to work. Oh, and while I'm at home and don't want to be on my computer and while I'm walking around D.C.
3.) I need a means of backing up important files that is as portable as my laptop. I'm going to be going almost all-digital with photography later this spring, and when your pictures start out digital there is no negative to fall back on if the computer fails. There's also DVD burning, but that's not cost-effective for just loading up my daily shoots. Of course, I'll do DVD backups from time to time for extra precious redundancy. Thus, my choice of words on the iPod.
4.) My brother, Drew, was buying a Dell equivalent of the iPod, and there's no way he's going to get that far ahead of me technologically. Sorry Drew.
Plus, it'll be great to have at college.
Shame on me. Shame.
And good listening, too.

Drew
I finally got to catch up on my reading. It was good talking to you earlier. :)
Hmmm.
Apple Sucks.
I wonder what Miss House has to say to that.
I just like it if it works. Yes, I've been reduced to a basic technological state. Functionality.
