Hello All,

I have to say that I feel a bit guilty since my wife & kids more that over did Christmas gifts to me. I made a list of items I would like as my wife requested, no way expecting more than a few items from the list.

Anyway, I had 4 Game Cube games on my list only expecting 1, I mean 1 is enough and more than most have. So she gets me all of them. Medal of Honor, Starfox Adventures, Tiger Woods Golf 2003, and Time Splitters 2. WOW.!

Also on my list, more as a "Super Duper Wish List" for Christmas was an iPod. Now if I'm going to get one the 5 gig will be plenty. Right? Not like I have a huge music collection by any means. So what does she do? She gets me a 10 gig iPod. Super WOW! Guess I'll have to download more of my CD library into iTunes to fill it.

I'm feeling very blessed today. It's way more than I expected or diserved. Also feeling a bit guilty (as I said) for having had such a great bunch of gifts bestowed apon me. I guess the guilt comes from knowing that there are so many less fortunate people out in the world. God bless them all!

OK, now for the reality check. I should be out of debt sometime in April if I'm lucky.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

PS - I also got socks too. Probable a good time of year to be a sock maker.

Footy I know what you mean. a GOOD family friend of ours got My brother and I a 20 gig iPod each. When they gave us the boxes i already knew they were iPods but I wasn't expecting 20 gigs. I'm both excited and feeling a little guilty about it. NO I'm not giving it up. I knew they looked amazing but WOW! I'm amazed at how even the packaging was done. I'm still in awe at how amazingly beautiful this little thing is. I guess I'm going to have to find Music to put on this thing. well good reason to buy CD's i guess.

Anyway Merry Christmas All.

You'll make a certain stick figure proud.

OK, I opened it today and charged her up. Downloaded my 230 some odd music iTunes library. I'm listening to Rob Zombie right now.

The iPod has also encouraged me to update my Address Book.

Another question: Can I drag any document such as Photoshop, Apple Works, or Quicktime movie to the iPod so that I can carry it to my wifes computer and download it to it? Sure I could just connect over Airport, but I'm playing with my new toy right now.

Data files? That's anything right?
