I am tempted to get one of these things after playing with my mom's ipod, but frankly they are just too much money for me to spare right now

 

[xfer]

I figure $150 isn't TOO TOO much. I would've just spent my gift certificate on ten books or seven DVDs, anyway.

it looks like it almost says NIMROD

 

[Firedwarf]

Is it any bigger than the ipod?

 

[xfer]

Yes, a bit. I went to Best Buy and fondled both of them for awhile before deciding that the slightly larger size was still perfectly acceptable. I don't plan to jog with it, and it fits comfortably in a pocket anyway, so it's not a big deal.

 

[Firedwarf]

Hmm okay. I've been looking to get one of those things for a while now. Also you remember a long time ago I asked about that 4-track version of TOKT and you said you'd be able to send it to me but I never contacted you about it? Do you happen to have it available to send at the moment?

40 gigs for $150. that's an insane steal.

 

[FalseTodd]

yeah - that's only about double what a 40gb hard drive would cost on its own...very nice

 

[avi]

hahaha sam

 

[FalseTodd]

i wasn't making fun!

 

[Greg B.]

Everyone thinks Sam is being an asshole. Except me. You're a-ok in my book, buddy.

 

[Astral Poetry]

How long is the battery life? I'm looking to invest in one this week, but so far I'm leaning towards the newest Dell models.

 

[xfer]

I don't recall the battery life...I'll let you know when I get it!

Firedwarf, just IM me any time you see me on after 6pm or so.

can you burn .WAV to it and not mp3? mp3 quality is GAY GAY GAY, i would rather rip my CD's and put the .wav on there. 40 gigs is nice space though.

 

[xfer]

blerch, fuck .wav.

ipods have their fancy propietary format so there's not as much loss
