Darcy, I will be serious amongst these neanderthals. I have had one for three years. One died. One was lost in the vortex of Heidi's house (still hold out hope). And one is here in LT. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! If you liked having a Walkman, you would like an iPod. Windy was given one as a gift from my employees when I left (long story, another post), and she loves her's. But, because it's Windy, there are totally different reasons. She likes her music on our recent travels, but she really likes plugging it in to her car stereo at home, and on road trips. "All this music, and no CD's to drag around." She also likes listening to books on CD as she goes to sleep.
I found this great deal on Apple's website. They sell refurbished models backed by the same warranty as buying one brand new. I got a Nano 4gb for $149. I didn't even think about the listening to books thing. hmm... even better.
Seriously, Darcy, there is nothing like being read to sleep at night by an elderly British woman. I am listening to Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities" right now, which our pastor downloaded off the internet for Free! And he just gave me another free download: A BBC recording of "Lord of the Rings". It's great for travel, because it's so tiny, and you can "read" in bed with the light off-it is so relaxing after you have just been searched by Russian customs officials!

Jordan could answer this one, but he's still out of state until Sat.
Wasn't he a character in "Wind in the Willows"? No, I didn't take to it particularly myself. - Glad to be of help. You're welcome, any time ;-) Mom
good grief.
No, Darc, that's Charlie Brown in Peanuts. Again, you're welcome! ;-)Mom
*sigh*
Darcy,

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

What are different ways you can get your music onto your IPod? Is it time consuming or easy?

So can you email me the downloads? Does that work?
I don't think I can email them, but I can ask Pastor Bob to send you the websites where you can download them.
darcy,
Just search "gutenburg project" or some variation on the spelling. You should be able to find the things he was downloading.
Email could be tricky depending on the file size limits of each of our EMail providers.
