[kj] OT: iPod

[Christof hamille]

I agree but saying "fuck iPods" is only putting your head inthe sand and 
avoiding the inevitable future of music and how we (as consumers) receive 
it.  A week doesn't go by where I do not purchase at least one CD.  I came 
from a show tonight and dropped $60+ on vinyl and CD.  But I am in the 
minority.  People are still willing to pay for music (the 1 billion download 
at iTunes is proof) and they are not as concerned or care anout packaging.
Which sucks.  That is equally as important as what is inside.  but I am 
biased.  I am a sucker for good packaging.
I consider myself a rabid music fan and buy, sell, own every format 
imagineable.  I am not boasting.  That is actually more pathetic.
iPods (good or bad) are part of the future.
