 BTW, how's it going with the new bundle of joy Celeste and Rhett??  I know first hand those first few weeks can be pretty crazy!

Things are great, thanks! We are adapting.
 
 The Costco 90 day plan sounds like a good way to satisfy your current need and have the option to upgrade. I know that when I was commuting day to day I  would have really missed having mine.

Ipod - schmipod.
 
 I don't need to carry my entire music collection from the past 35 years around with me so I have absolutely no use for one.
 
 Same with cellphones, just sell me one that makes a fucking phone call without dropping out in mid converfuckingsation.
 
 I see all these chumps walking around the dealership with these brand new $600 I-phones, which will be $29.99 with activation by years end.

In my case I live in a studio and use my iPod as my stereo.  It's also great for when I go running.  Though I will agree with you on the iPhone.  That is absurd.

So you really can't see the convenience and fun of carrying around your 3 or 400 favorite albums in your pocket, all wrapped up in nifty package with a great interface, and reasonably priced to boot?
 
 Quit your hating you grumpy old fart.

i like my Hi-MD minidisc better. it uses 1 Gig discs, and has no hard drive, but i can use it to record shows without Atrac/mp3 compression. i recorded Slint, Dinosaur Jr and Mono with it so far, and plan to use it for the cure/65days show. its small as hell, plus i can record albums onto MD and use it as a walkman if i wish.

I'm with Roadbike Mankie on this one.  Once again, feverishly having to have the latest, coolest, worthless thing smacks of the eighth grade.  I don't even own a cell phone.  Plus, the iPod has that stupid, piece of shit, trendy, sterile, simple design.  People who own iPods are merely sheep.

Thanks for the reactionary verbal diahrrea.
   
 What really smacks of the 8th grade is your parrot-like recitation of of these idiotic pseudo-socialist concepts.
 
 How did you ever come up with such radical theories....by reading the liner notes of a Crass album?

Shame shame!  May the Marxist wrath of Brian Wallace crush you with the force of a thousand Red Brigades!!!

In principle, I tend to agree with you.
 
 However, my wife got me a modest sized (by boardie standards) ipod for my 40th birthday, and now that she is home with the child and I'm taking the Metro all alone (we used to ride together), having 80 albums or so to choose from every day makes the ride much more bearable.
 
 And I never had a cell phone until now, either. But she insists that we need them in case of emergency. With a pay as you go plan, it's only about $100 per phone per year, plus the initial $20 investment. We may cut back to one phone. I'm definitely not a cell phone kind of guy, but if it makes her happy, I'll happily live with it.

Yup...I never had a cellphone until the wifey was getting close to the due date for our first.

I don't know about Karl Marx but I used to really be into Consolidated and "Generation Terrorists"-era Manic Street Preachers.
