First, happy belated birthday! Welcome to adulthood! Having been there for, erm, some time, it is not all what it cracks up to be, but it's not always as bad as it seems! I will die the day my MP3 dies. I've got a Sony HD3 which has been sharing my daily commute since Christmas 2005, and so far it is still bearing up well. And since it's only 20Gb, it is fair to say that it's had its fair share of loading/unloading over the years. Much better than my friend's first iPod, which died a couple of days after the 1 year warranty expired. That would make me think twice about getting one, although, like you, I am not saying it will never happen. As long as there's some life in my HD3 though, I will keep it going.

Oh, btw, 80gb ipods are around £225 (Amazon) so not as bad as all that…

Happy birthday!

iRivers are fairly awesome, I had one for a while (the IHP 140 I think) but grew frustrated with the slow indexing and two minute boot time. I also never quite got used to the filing system and, well, the iPod’s user interface is *awesome*, much as I hate iTunes for Vista.

btw, I learnt that it was your birthday from Facebook. The wonder of social networking…!
