I know where you're coming from. For my birthday in Feb., I received a 60 GB video Ipod to replace my third-generation variety. Very very cool. I can now fit my entire music collection on that thing and I still have 40 GB left...

Of course, I realized I had to promptly give it up for Lent (let's just say I was spending way too much time ripping CD's when I should have been praying).

And frankly, I don't miss it... yet. I threw it in a drawer and haven't thought about it until now.

Detachment from "things" is a beautiful thing.

Nice. I'm lucky I don't have one of those. I'd be monkeying with it all the time. I do have 400+ CDs though, most of them rock CDs.

Agreed. It's also nice to replace something base with something transcendent, which was my aim.
