Want

Someone's iPod longing post just made me look online and see what I would want as well.

I've longed for an iPod for quite some time now, but I'd take something else in its stead. That kind of space would be quickly filled up by the music collection spread out across four or five different hard drives here at work, and one at home.

Easily.

Yeah, WMA compatibility isn't an issue. I know for some folks, most of their music is in WMA format, but I've pretty much stuck with MP3, and what is M4P from iTunes music store.

If you're already hooked on iTunes, iPod is DEFINITELY the way to go. Get the 40 or wait for the 60, nobody's saying how long it'll be for the 60 but it can't be too much longer; when the maker of the teeny 60GB HD came out with it, lhey "leaked" that Apple would be buying some. Apple was pissed!!

Yeah, iTunes and I have been getting along quite well. I have yet to pay for a song, since most of mine were acquired with Pepsi caps, or caps that were donated to me.

Now, to make a convincing argument for purchasing one to my wife.

Justifying that price is definitely the hard part. Don't forget Apple's incredible reliability though; I've got Macs on the floor in my department that are 7-8 years old and still in everyday use, in a production environment. Try THAT with a Winbox!

Precious, indeed! Our PCs are on a three rotation, and sometimes that isn't even fast enough.
