Now that’s what you call having money to burn.

Thats unbelievable.

I would love to designate certain iPods for certain genres. i now have 3 working iPods and consider myself very fortunate to be be able to afford them. But oe thing i have been thinking about is the next time I need a new external HD, I may just spring a little more extra mney and get tthe video ipod. Sure its only 60GB for 5 times the price but it plays movies smile

It’s a feature that, IMO, cannot be underestimated.  I’ve thoroughly, thorougly enjoyed mine.  Lately I’ve been working in my living room and using the iPod to play video podcasts on my TV.  It’s been awesome.

If I were single and didn’t have kids… but, I’d rather have the family and kids.

Even if I were single, and I had an iPod, I can think of things I’d rather have than 8 more of them.

Oh, I’m referring to the rest of the set-up. I don’t care about the iPods.

I’d also probably have just the 30” monitor instead of both.  That’s just greedy.  smile

If you’re really greedy you’d have one of the new PowerMacs with four 30” monitors.  wink

Now THAT would have to come with a drool cup as standard hardware. Whooo.

You could build a special sit-in cabinet with a monitor on each side and play flight / driving simulation games specially created for four screens - you’d get views out of the front, back and both sides.  grin

There’s another strange person in the latest MacFormat magazine. He’s got the rainbow-coloured Apple logo tatooed on his arm (long after they changed to single colour), and the guy and his girlfriend have an iMac G5 with second 17” screen, an iBook, a Mac Mini, plus he’s got an iPod Shuffle and two iPods Photos - one of which he hasn’t even opened (he’s keeping it in case the other one gets stolen). smirk
