...but I don't NEED thousands of songs.
My wife and I were on a road trip recently when she wanted to hear a number of different songs that neither of us had listened to in a while. I use a Third generation iPod with with the iTrip FM transmitter, and we were able to hear everything we wanted to within a few seconds of thinking of it. It beats bringing the entire CD collection, shuffling through it, and jumping through tracks to hear each song. Cult? Maybe, but a harmless one. Gay accessory? A lot of gays use the internet, too. Expensive toy? You betcha. I'm sure glad I can afford one.
Then you didn't NEED to respond to this thread I guess....
