Yes, you should.  The iPod is acoustical evil in a white package.  Personally, I'd recommend a pocket PC of some sort if you want to spend that kind of money.  You get a device that can play real movies, do email, messenger, web browsing, finances, text editing, real games (eg Quake 2, etc), and with a four inch full-color screen for the same price.  Just make sure to buy a large expansion card and you can fit tons of music on it.  I've got five gigs in my HP HX4700.  You can buy an 8GB microdrive for about $110...and that's a lot of music and movies.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

4GB iPod mini. Graduation gift. It's been the best gift that has ever kept giving.

No, I'm talking about a Pocket PC.  For example, here's a picture of the model I've owned for a long time:

Or you can just continue to wildly speculate on everything.

It's all relative when you're talking about electronics, for what that offers you it's a much better per dollar deal than any of that ipod filth.
