  • Brent:
    The ipod is a great player. The lowest cost shuffle is 1gb and holds about 240 songs. It's about the size of a large postage stamp and clips right on your lapel. At $79 it's a great deal. You get about 12 hours of battery life. No screen though.
    Step up to a nano and you get a screen, 24hours of playback and storage of 2, 4 , or 8 gigs. Prices start at $149 for the 2 gig. I recommend shopping at the Apple site as you get free shipping and engraving.
    I can't believe she's not interested in the 8-track though....

        Thanks Russ, Gary, & Mark,

        Her pick is Ipod nano with no screen. Seems to be general consensus as a good choice. I can move ahead with more confidence now. hmm, Free shipping and engraving.

        It is true. I double checked today... : ( ...and we did not even discuss the size of the custom pocket she would need for her coat.

          I had the same Idea and suggested it. Not especially well recieved. And the truth be told, I do not think I could stand my singing for that many hours.

          Thanks, I almost did not mention it.

            Just to clarify:
            nano-screen
            shuffle-no screen
            They even come in fire engine red to match that beautiful bike of yours! If you wait long enough they'll probably come out with a HD model in pure billet aluminum. It'll probably leak though

                Mitch,

                Good deal! Hope you stay more than 1 day this time. Bring plenty of Alpine or maybe some Picaroons Best Bitter Ale.

                Or at least some of those damn fried clams....those were worth the trip!

                Look forward to seeing you both!!

                          • Spring time

                            It looks like 6 weeks of winter was stuffed into the last 3 weeks in the Great White North. I had not realizeed that this region reached so far south of Canada extending to Chicago and southern Pa.

                            Spring time is coming. I plan on bringing my summer gloves to XS east. I believe I will need them.

                            I think I saw a little snow Saturday. As I was riding home about noon., and stopped at a red light, I saw some very small white specks blowing sideways in front of me. Some slight chance of was predicted, still I thought it was cigar ashes in the wind, but it was coming from upwind and spread over a wide area. Afew minutes later, I got home & checked the temp. and it was 40.

                            Was this snow? If you were to measure to the nearest millimeter, It would round off to a big zeroe. I guess not enough to count.

                            Anyway, freezing temps are yeilding to sunshine, southern breezes and longer days. (50s today upper 60s later in the week) All temps listed for my area are in farenheit and above zeroe. still many days untill XSeast. Spring will be ariving in the great white north long before then. Get those bikes ready, maybe even wear out another back tire practicing.

                            CU in the spring,
