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Only minutes later to find out my two-week old iPod has been replaced by the newer (cooler!?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.
