New and Improved (or at least Cheaper) iPods!

It was just brought to my attention that the iPod Family has changed. No more 30 GB, he went on the South Beach Diet and is now more colorful after going to the beach, you know, South Beach... so he's 20GB now. Then the Shuffle shrunk in price. 512MB is still $99, but the 1GB is $120 with student discount, but there is a 512MB Refurb for $79. Tempting...

Anyway, what happened! Why 20 ang 60GB? This is just another ploy from "the Man" to keep us lowly peons down, away from the upper crust of society! Grab your torch and pitchfork! Whoaaa... let's cool down before we tar and lych Steve Jobs. Remember, he did (and "The Woz") bring us Macintosh. That's my only problem with Apple. They upgrade so fast... prices go down so fast... and that can be a good thing. Like if you never buy anything, you can just sit back and say, "Good thing I didn't buy that iPod a week ago, now it's $100 cheaper!" But if you ever buy anything, you have to just bite the bullet and accept the fact that in 2 months, there will be a new one! Oh well, I guess it's no hugantic problem...

That's all the upset and I can handle for now. Tune in next week for more adventures (This is an old school pod cast, I just type words instead of saying them, keeps bandwidth down...).
