Pardon the vanity but I believe this will make for an intriguing thread.
I have been following rather closely this I-Pod phenomenon with interest. There was a piece in USA Today last week where they compare the I-Pod users with cult members. One 20 something was quoted as saying "my I-Pod changed my life." IMHO, that means this individual was in serious need of a life.
Now follow me here. Libs complain about those of us in the "radical religious Right." However, it is my observation that the Left is just as religious as any Evangelical,Conservative Catholic or devout Jew. They just worship God's creations not God himself.
They have their own Churches. PETA,NOW,ACLU, Greenpeace,AIM, et al. They have clergy-Shrinks. They have condoms for Rosary beads... Follow. I think I-Pods are now part of their religion. Apple?
Notice I didn't say MP3 player. It has to be an I-Pod. Otherwise, it's like water and Holy Water. Won't work.
Now, I happen to believe MP3 players are definitely nifty gadgets. I am researching the purchase of one for myself. However, they are gadgets not lifechanging experiences. I have no doubt many freepers own I-Pods. I also have little doubt you are more than what is on you I-Pod.
no, I said that.

"thought I was the last one remaining who hadn't bought an iPod -- and I started writing to myself "
Yes, you seem to have a habit of projecting your ideas on to other people. Too much time writing to yourself perhaps.

If people look for divisions, then they'll find them.
Yes, I'm cursed to be writing to you..., the last living, known non-iPodder.
Say, have you ever heard of the Dodo bird.... (http://www.davidreilly.com/dodo/)? ... oh well..., that's another story.

"Say, have you ever heard of the Dodo bird.... "
yes, I'm familiar with the dodo bird. The pod will be a dodo bird in, say, five years, when these tech guys can figure out how to cram 40 gb of music in to your cell phone via memory. Of course, you could still continue to have fun with your restricted choice of music and your mp3 player that's incompatible with MSN, Musicmatch, Napster, Rhapsody, Walmart, Buymusic and MusicRebellion among others because Apple programmed the firmware to be incompatible with it.
I accept your regards, and will extend them as well if only you would please, please stop regarding me. That's what I say.
I have an iPod. I love it. It loves me. (ergo it can't possibly be liberal!)
LOL!
hello!
Actually, I'm a "Sister".
But thanks.
