I have bowed to the marketing pressure and bought an iPod mini. I was using my PDA but it was only 512MB and a real pain to get the music on there.
Now I guess I have to decide what to put on there.
I feel marginally better that I’ve bought a docking station, 2 remote controls (one for Cathie) and an iTrip all a lot less than RRP, from eBay.

Sorry mate, but I reckon having an iPod makes you a fashion victim! Lately, every man and his dog seems to have a pair of oh-so-white leads connecting his ears to his iPod…! And the racket on the tube in the mornings drives me potty!
Do I really believe this? Everyone I know who is cool - like my brother John, and Donald before him - seems to have one…
So maybe the truth is that I’m uncool and so sad that I don’t have enough time to listen to an iPod?
Hmmmm… I wonder if I will ever give into the fad: time will tell!

1) I have different headphones that don’t noise pollute and are not white so I hopefully won’t get mugged.
2) I’m listening to loads of new music for the first time in ages which is A Good Thing IMO.

I have now become a fashion victim! What has swung me is the iPod Nano, which I bought while out in California recently, and podcasting!
