Its not the IPLOD bashers that need to lighten up, frankly I couldn't give
a
monkeys about the little pieces of junk. It's the "Mac" rule computers and
"Ipods" rule "Macs" bunch that need to lighten up.
Reading the thread below, they should of a least put and alarm clock on
the
thing, in fact the PLODS are such a marketing phenomenon that ill bet
somebody has already marketed a third part add on alarm clock module.
Just my accessories worth.
Do you know Levi market jeans with a silly IPLOD pocket attached to a
silly
long red rope.

Lighten up IPod Bashers.
You do know that the ipod hooks up very nicely to a stereo system,
and plays through speakers not pushed into the ear canal? It can also
hook up to the car stereo. How about a two day car trip without cd's
all over the passenger seat. I have my entire music collection on it
(300 + cd's) in addition to pod casts of radio shows I miss while I'm
at work, in addition to my calendar, contact list, family photos, and
yes some videos, and I have room left on it to back up files from
home and the office, and sync. some applications between several
computers. It's beautifully designed, easy to work with, and fun.
But really I thought this user group was about Rolleis?
