iPod Mini

March 12, 2005

The green 4GB iPod Mini I ordered from Apple's online store arrived the other day. I was waffling over whether to spend the $325 CDN on the Mini or order Apple's new smaller capacity iPod Shuffle, which does not include an LCD, but a few things decided me on the Mini.

Apple just reduced the price of the Mini to $250, a price I felt more comfortable spending. At twice the price of the Shuffle but with eight times the capacity and an LCD I felt the Mini was the better deal. The big name electronic stores are sold out of the Minis except for the pink model and Apple was offering free shipping, perhaps for a limited time, so I ordered it online. The Mini has more features that make the experience of listening to music more enjoyable, and that's ultimately what it comes down to.

I finally resolved to buy some sort of MP3 player after having to endure 30 minutes of noisy breathing and grunting from the schmuck on the treadmill next to me at the gym one night. He had on his music and probably wasn't aware of how much noise he was making. I took a look around and noted more people had personal music players than not and said to myself, "That's it! I'm getting an iPod."

Hey Scott,

Just thought I'd let you know I'm glad you're writing again - I was shocked to learn about Bermuda. Hopefully it wil pick up.

I see you've chosen a classics course - me too! I'm taking a course called "Ancient Roman Society" (CLAS 202) in preparation for my Sep-Dec visit to Rome.

See you in May, and keep writing!

Thanks for still checking the site. I barely do! My writing seems to come in bursts, albeit very short ones. My difficulty lies in finding topics I feel others would want to read about. When I do I usually post them.

I wanted to take 202 but it conflicted with a TE so I was happy to find the mythology class offered in the summer. Of all the things we studied throughout high school English, I may have enjoyed the mythology units the most.

Wow, four months in Rome. Hopefully you'll update your blog regularly when you're there as you plan to.
