I cracked up at that one, Markio. ;)

I own an iPod myself, and it's just great. Although I would never want to try to listen to 180 songs while riding on the bus for an hour, it's really nice to have over 1800 songs to choose from at any time during that ride. So no matter what I feel like listening to, it's right there, and I can listen to it. Taking all 200 or so of my CDs along with me would not be practical.

It's also really nice not to have to change CDs when one ends. It's just a constant stream of music I like, as if it were my own radio station without ads or announcements (i.e. without interruptions). As convenient as CDs are, I have found my iPod to be a good three times more convenient, if that's quantifiable.

My main reason for having an iPod, though, is that it displays the track, album, and composer/artist names as I'm listening to my music, as well as the elapsed and remaining track timesâ€”all of which are important to me. Before I had to refer to lists on paper if I wanted to know what I was listening to, and that was kind of a pain.

Incidentally 90â€“100% of her problems occur within either Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint, but I won't go into that aspect.

If she's just giving presentations, what else would you see her using in class?

True, iPods have their advantages, but i don't ride in a bus for an hour or have moments when I can just sit and listen to music. I guess I'd rather read a book. It sure is annoying when people look at me like I'm an idiot because I don't have one, though. Then again, I don't like the "what's this weirdo's deal?" look either... maybe that's why I go a message board.

I would very much like to see her using this instead:

I don't understand your sig, Watoad. It makes too much sense.

A podium?

I don't understand the iPod craze, and I don't understand why people feel compelled to own one.

If you know how to use any software properly, it will work for you.

This is the reason for the iPod craze, Chup.

Yeah, Markio's a pretty cool guy, isn't he?

Markio, you are now on my special list. ~_^

I know I'm getting around when I'm equally grateful and scared of someone.

Lizard Dude, for a second I thought you meant the iPod craze was over whether Napoleon Dynamite or the Robin Williams robot from that movie could dance better, but that was just the advertisement(Napoleon at 68%, yeah!).

I went birthday shopping today and bought a Mario KLIK and WarCraft II: Battle.net Edition for a grand total of $6.28. Because you can never have enough WarCraft II's.

I was reading a post linked to in the chat room, and I felt compelled to say this: I am so grateful that these forums do not have a built-in quoting function. Such a thing would destroy this place.
