[kj] OT: iPod

[Alexander Smith]

I got the 60gb one after maxing out the 40gb one (which I've since  
given to Tod [A] of Firewater/CopShootCop for his overland trek from  
India-to-Turkey. Think I'll get it back in one piece? Me neither!)

In any case, the 60gb one (mine is also black) is a lot sleeker, but  
what they DON'T tell you is how difficult it is to set-up the video  
function. I haven't bothered, because honestly speaking -- who needs  
to watch videos on a screen the size of a post-it note? But it's not  
as simple as uploading MP3's. Haven't even tried the photo storage  
function (again -- who needs it?)

Also, it doesn't come with a very effective carrying case, and the  
screen scratches easily, so you'll want to invest in one.

Other than that, it's nice. Room for 5000 more songs than the 40gb,  
so my mission was complete. Still -- shame about the video function.

Good luck!
