Why is it that women generally do not buy iPods? It is true that myself and my sons have iPods but my wife does not have an iPod and does not desire one. Why is this?

I go to the Apple Store to look at other iPods and mostly men are there checking out the iPods. Why do men like myself who already have iPods go to the Apple store to check out other iPods even though they know that there are no new models (they know this because they have iPod websites bookmarked on their web browsers). Even though I know all the different types of iPods, I still like to go to the store to look at them. They all look so shiny and new. Like mine used to. I wish my iPod could be shiny and new again but I tote it around with me everywhere and thus it eventually picks up the inevitable little nicks and scratches.

Sometimes I take my iPod out of its protective case just so I can spin the scroll wheel a few times and check out the gleaming mirror surface on the reverse side.

I also never let my iPod get too full. My iPod will hold 15,000 songs but once I get to the 7,000 to 8,000 song range, I get nervous and I start looking for songs to remove. I don't want my iPod to get too full. Because then all those songs start getting crowded on that tiny hard drive and suddenly I will feel like I don't have enough space anymore.

I'm like that with computers too. I had an 80GB hard drive for just my iTunes but when I hit about 50GB in songs, I went out and bought a 160GB hard drive. Now I have a 300GB hard drive and I have about 42,000 songs on it so now I get nervous that I might lose it all so I have another 300GB drive to back it all up on. But that is not enough security for me. I have now taken to store my purchased music on CD-ROM and I take them into work to store there in case my entire house burns down or falls into the ocean. If either of those things happened, I'd be okay because then I could go to work and get all those CD-ROMs and put my music back together on the new computer that I get with the insurance money. Life will be good again.

If both my office and home floated into the ocean at the same time, then I'm screwed. I would not know what to do in that situation. Maybe I should send these CD-ROMS to some super-secure government underground bunker.
