Still trying to decide on an MP3 player - there is such a thing as too much information and too many choices, methinks. Brain explodes. Here's the one the guy at work showed me, which he bought his daughter. In case the link doesn't work, it's a second generation nano ipod and blue. I'd rather have black but they don't appear to have black except in 8 GB. I've been advised to get 4gb and always second generation, never 1st. Also told itunes works on all systems, although it appears to be crashing my pal, CW's system. Also told that itunes is free. Which after some additional research, appears to be true as does the fact it works on Windows, there are however issues with Windows Vista. (Really wish these stupid operating systems would stop upgrading every two years, just when I was getting used to XP, Windows wants to go to Vista. Doesn't matter, still on XP anyhow. By time XP is defunct, will be time to get a new lap-top.)

Working for a tech company makes one a bit more savvy than one used to be about this stuff.

Read flist, realized we aren't really in synch on tv shows any longer. For example: I like Dresden Files a heck of a lot more than anyone else appears to. Course, I knew going in that it was going to be *very* different than the books from listening to the podcasts at www.jimbutchernews.com. ^{(What? I was unemployed and bored out of my skull at the time. It could have been worse...much worse.)} Very funny podcasts by the way. Tell you everything you ever wanted to know about what they are doing or why they are doing what they are doing on that tv series. Process fascinates me. Much more than product does.

Still watching lots of other shows. Owning a DVR is loads of fun. Oh, did anyone else, who watched Heroes this week, think to themselves that Mohinder is just too stupid to live? LOL!
For a scientist, this guy is incredibly dumb.

LOL! Yeah, I thought pretty much the same thing when I wrote that.
Yes, there are absent-minded and oblivious scientists...but this is pushing it. One wonders how Mohindre made it as far as he has? My current speculation is his ex-girlfirend was the brains and basically did all his work for him in exchange for sex. ;-)
