Okay, so I gotta tone down the spending a bit (I just bought a 32″ flat screen, $1300 Apple, and the new version of Pro Tools 8), but I just couldn’t resist. I teased Lizzy last night by pretending I was buying her an Orange iPod Nano on our laptop. Her little eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. So today I decided to surprise her and buy her one anyway!
I went with the iPod Nano 8GB 4th Generation. I went 8GB because I figure I’ve lived with CD’s this long, I can handle having ONLY 2,000 songs at a time. My digital music collection (trimmed down recently) sits at a modest 17GB, I figured I didn’t need ALL of it on there.
I’m actually pretty excited for it too, that’s another reason I bought it. I’ve wanted one for a long time, and I decided a guy like me, involved in the music world, needs to have one.
I know there’s a lot of iPod bashers out there, and I also know you can get more for your money elsewhere, but how can you deny Apple? You know what you’re getting. You know it will have a sleek design, easy to use, COMPATABILITY, and no major bugs. Apple is famous for the saying “It just works.” I’ve never been disappointed in 5 years of Apple use, except one minor video card problem which was by my own doing.
I own two iMacs, a MacBook, and I’m trying to convince Lizzy to get a iPhone, so I the iPod is the no-brainer for the connectivity options I now have. Shit, I can even hook it straight up to my deck in my car (not that others can’t). I’m pumped, it just sucks we won’t get it for almost 2 weeks….
I also got some cheesey “11 in 1 accessory pack” for like $5. I need to find a good dock and speakers now though…. Any thoughts?

I put my Nano through the washer and dryer, and it still works. It just needed a month to really dry out.
