Well; I got the "DARN" iPod Yesterday, after everyone seems to sing the Praises of Carrying Music around!... Well, After plopping it into the Tower's Firewire, and slapping the iPod in the Cradle, I find it's "MUCH MORE" than a Costly Music-Box!... I ( Like most people I'd guess) Like music now and then, and like the commercials I tend to be a bit OFF-TUNE while the Music plays, but I find Nobody (Even Next to me at the counter of the Local Coffee shop) Heard the music I was Singing to, This alone would have been good, But then I checked My Work Schedule and had to make a call, so I had to find the Number... WOW!.. If Apple would Incorporate some of the Newton Technologies, They'd never make enough of these things!... Picture a FULL Touch Screen on the iPOD, and a way to edit the Calendar/To-Do's/Etc..... The sound is good and the 30Gig Version I got has the remote and Base for connecting.. This is really something!.. If your thinking of the iPOD, I'm With you!.. This will take the Place of most of MY NEEDS, And it plays T.REX, Lizzy, Alice, BOC, Etc.... How cool is that!.. I did order a extra Firewire cable, and the FM TX unit so I can try the Car Stereo thing.... Jeff-N8NOE
