well iPod...
World meet Charles II, Charles II meet the world. Gerald is MIA (RIP, or AWOL running round the factory causing trouble I bet) and the replacement is a nifty 60Gb video iPod.
Yes I know I hate Apple, but the hardware is good even when iTunes is generally shit. Auto-updates are not going to happen in THIS HOUSE, not anywhere a computer I have control over. The iTunes shipped with it seems to be behaving. I've learned my lesson with stuff like that though. Auto updating iTunes nuked Miguel the Mini Mac and the latest iTunes kept popping up to say HELLO! every five fucking seconds, so I'll give that a miss thankyouverymuch.
But it's small, thin, black and sexy (cue dildo joke here) and after the toddler-mini-strop that is little iVer (e.g. "wah! don't like 50 Pound Note/Tracks Up the Tree/Bicyclemark/and most of your podcasts! I won't play them! I shan't! I SHAN'T! I'll swqeam and sqweam and sqweam until I'm sthick! and here have a totally unrelated track instead...") I will finally be able to catch up on the millions and millions of podcasts I missed.
Pic to follow when I've stopped downloading the world to it.
How do you rate tracks on these things btw?
