ELIZABETH the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, and Defender of the Faith, has bought a nice looking and reassuringly expensive iPod.
According to the Current Bun, Her Majesty, who never has cash with her because apparently she doesn't like the way her face is engraved on her coins, has somehow managed to buy a 6GB silver mode

I hear His Billness will be flying over to convince her to try an xbox for less as well!

a solitary firefly flies at nite
into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.

Here one of the reasons I guess, from MacWorld UK:

iPod user HRH Queen Elizabeth II has admitted she finds Sony products too difficult to use.

Sony's new CEO Howard Stringer recounted a luncheon with the Queen to Sony shareholders. He told them that the Queen had struggled with certain Sony products.

According to Stringer the Queen told him: "I have a lot of trouble with your remote controls. Too many arrows."


"That plane's dustin' crops where there ain't no crops."
