Yay!!! I’ve just taken possession of a brand-new 30Gb iPod, and it is without a doubt the coolest, sexiest object I have ever bought.
So far it’s been incredibly easy to set-up. Ten minutes to install a Firewire PCI card, ten minutes to install the software, and then about forty minutes to copy 8Gb of music to the pod. Sweet! I plan to post a review after I’ve used it for a few days.
(And for any RIAA lawyers who might be reading this: all the music was ripped from CDs that I or my partner personally own. Sorry to disappoint you.)
