I only suggest the iPod Classic because of the GB's. You mentioned 4 GB's. My classic has 160 GB's. I definitely
would not reccomend it to runners/joggers because it is a little bulky and heavy. The wife and I walk and it's not too bad to carry
it with me. The number one reason I bought the Classic was for my vehicle. I bought a stereo with a USB port on the front just to have
an iPod in the car. Yes CD's sound better but the iPod is just so damn convenient. I'd rather carry the iPod to the car than have to
constantly change up the cd's in it. I also worry about theft and I keep my iPod with me and never leave it in the car. I can't do that with
a bunch of discs. Just because I'm clueless, other than too bulky, what do you not like about the classic? Is there something better out
there that can hold this much music? I have 11,000 songs on this and room for at least 6 or 7 thousand more.(maybe more than that)

As for getting a classic iPod? Nope. I don't agree. The iPod Mini is a bargain and swapping out the battery takes minutes. Sound is identical to the classic iPod (I assume you mean the big 4GB). The TRUE sleeper was the iPod Shuffle. It was made for runners or anyone else into physical activities. That is why they brought them back from the great beyond. Clip and run. Of course it takes some trickery to get it to follow playlists and such but, look online, it came back for a reason.
I still prefer the mini. Has a screen, can do playlists on the fly, sound is better than the Shuffle and has all the goodies like car hookup / wireless / contact list / EQ.
My two cents on old hardware. Beats the hell out of the new, though, and I fix iPhones, iTouch+ all the time. Try running with an iTouch! LOL!

artist, album title, genre, and sometimes year for thousands of songs. I've been doing this for about a month.
Over a thousand cd's and 11,000 songs and I still have over 60 gigs for any new music. Anyone that doesn't already have
an iPod, buy the classic. This thing has to hold about 20,000 songs or more. It's not as cool as the touch as far as features
go but if all you care about is the music this is the way to go. Peace!

The US defence was very solid, Todd Clever (captain) has a massive tackle on him! Ireland used the rolling maul a lot, which from a defenders point of view is hard to stop legally. The US should put in an excellent showing against Russia on the 15th!

Shame the Eagles lost, but considering they are ranked 14 compared to 4 for Ireland, they played defense pretty solid. Too bad they had little to no offense.

Yeh I know. The U.S. is very ego centric in the selection of sports they show here. That is why the Baseball World Series only includes Canada and the U.S. how is that a World series? A few other countries play baseball, why are they not in the mix?
Ya, we suck when it comes to sports coverage. If you don't have a statalite and pay extra for a few international sports chanels you'll never see much.

Jimmy - yeah Tonga put on some pressure, I was a little surprised with the scrum though in that we'd screw it, but the penalty would go against us. That 'scrum off' towards the end got annoying lol. Ah well I'd rather have a bit of a half pie game early than at the knock out stages. Graham Henry will definitely be putting the team through some hard work!

I'm starting to get excited about the next month or so.
Uproar Festival on the 16th of this month.
Avenged Sevenfold
Three Days Grace
Seether
Bullet For My Valentine
Escape The Fate
Sevendust....and others
Got Dressed To Kill (Kiss tribute) doing a show at a local sternwheel festival at a little
outtdoor amphitheatre by the river on the 17th. It's free so why not.
Two Mushroomhead shows in October and maybe Calvalera Conspiracy/Otep in October also.
I can't wait.
