ive been thinkin about this alot...
its like 400 bucks... but it is like 40 gigs, or something... and holds like 2000 gigs, and can be used as an external hard drive
im really tempted... cause i got so many cds, and it would be nice not to have to switch cds every few mins... or to carry ALL my cds with me on trips...
but i dont know...
any one?
anyone have one?

I WANT ONE!!!!!!
But you are wrong on a couple of things:
They are in excess of $400+
They come in 5 or 10GB sizes, not 40GB.
The 5 GB holds 1,000 songs, and the 10GB holds 2,000 songs.
Or, atleast they are supposed too.

Assuming you have a Mac? And it only works on firewire, sorry. Not USB.
Technology is great, but sometimes it can jump up and bite you in the ass.

Yea, you should have 2 firewire ports on there somewhere. Just plug the little bastard in and install the software. Although it is supposed to work with iTunes, I would bet you have to install some drivers first.

Both,
Usually they run Counter Strike and Team Fortress Classic servers.But Im setting them up to be web servers.
I do various things on my 8600/300, aka my 300MHZ Mac, and I do pretty much everything on my main computer.

well, you just set them up to do what you want then you let them run unless you make constant changes to whatever they are doing. (i.e. changing maps on a CS server, or updating a website on a webserver)

Im over qualified to do some tech jobs. Which is what I want to end up doing, I want to be an IT for a large company. (thats the guy who handles just about everything that is computer). Im working with a hell of alot of stuff right now, Windows 2K Pro, MacOS 7.5.5-8.6, FreeBSD, Linux, SQL, Perl, Delphi, and learning how to set up an Apache webserver on Linux.

yeah...I have dreams about Ipods/MP3 Players as well...
There's a nice new HD player just arrived from RIO...it's 20Gig and retails for £299 (I think, might be 399..).. looks pretty smooth as well, matt black with a large LCS screen...(a little similar to a GameBoyAdvance, I guess...)...
I know how much I love my MP3CDPlayer and how it lets me carry all my music with me easily....but this thing would be even better; My whole Music collection in one little black box....mmmmmmmm
Worth being patient for a little longer tho I reckon...give it another yr and we should see the above sort of spec from several different suppliers and a big drop in price; 20gig for £199 I reckon is a good price point to look out for...(How funky would a MP3HD player from Bang & Ollfson be....)...

iPod is worth every penny. I've used a few and they just get the job done, like Macs.
The only thing stopping me from buying one at the moment is that there's no line-in so you can't connect a microphone or do a direct recording.
But I've seen it take just over 9 mins to fill-up the 5GB HD, now that's FAST!
