Two weeks ago I spontaneously decided to stop by the local Apple (we're here to sell you our lifestyle) Store, dropped $499, and walked out with a 30GB iPod
Since then I got sucked into this strange black hole of making my already-cool-as-#### iPod even more unique - $30 for clear case (to protect the scratched-in-5-minute mirror surface) from Speck Products, another $40 for a Belkin FM-transmitter (until the even cooler 3G-iTrip is released) so I can play MP3s on my CD-deck in my Miata... then tonight another $60 for a battery pack so I can now listen to 15+ hours of music with no interruption...
Only minutes later to find out my two-week old iPod has been replaced by the newer (cooler!? They told me I was the coolest!) 40GB model - for the same price tag of $499...
Oh well, it's just another 2500 songs more...
On the other hand, that extra 10GB also means that I could've really MP3'd every one of my 800+ CDs in my collection... if I only knew. Suddenly Steve Jobs dropped a notch in my list of favorite people... j/k.

Only *now* do I truly understand what the Apple Store Associate meant when he said, "your life will be better" as I was signing the credit card slip for the iPod...
He meant that my wallet will always be lighter from that moment on. :P
