Shiny toy!

Whee! I bought an iPod Nano today. I've wanted one for a while, but couldn't justify spending the money. Finally decided that a) I deserved it, and b) it would help motivate me to workout at the gym where I'm usually surrounded by TVs blaring programs that drive me crazy.

So it's a "To Patricia, From Patricia, Happy Early Birthday" present. A very big deal for someone who remembers back when the dividing class line was who could afford a Sony Walkman and who couldn't. I was on the have-not side of that equation, so this is also a bit of delayed gratification.

Anyway, cheerfully loading CDs and investigating options for sports holders. Looking forward to the gym tomorrow!

Excellent! Good for you! Did you opt for one of the generic ones, or did you get one of the snazzy new colors? ;-)

I picked silver--the new colors were okay but none were quite me. I would have picked black if they had it, but black only comes in the 8GB model.

The color is pretty much moot anyway, since it is going to spend most of its life in a sports holder, as soon as I decide which holder to get.

Ah, very good. nightwolfwriter and the daughter unit gave me a black one a couple of Christmases ago--when black and white were the only choices.

I hear you about the holder. Mine is one of the adjustable sports carriers that's worn on the arm. Happy hunting, there's a lot to choose from! :-)
