I ran across an advert for an Apple iPod recently. This particular one would hold 30,000 songs. 30,000 songs at an average of three minutes each, would be 90,000 minutes. divided by 60 would make that 1500 hours. If someone spent 16 hours a day listening, leaving 8 hours for sleep, it would take nearly 94 days to listen to them all. Downloading the songs from Apple at 99 cents each, plus the cost of the iPod, would mean an investment of about $30,000.00. The price of a pretty nice car tied up in a gad-get hooked to a small earphone. This thing also has the ability to hold 25,000 pictures. At just 15 seconds per picture, more than 6 days gone using the same 16 hours a day. A very small picture as well. It would also hold 150 hours of video. Nearly 10 days to look at that! Are we living in a techie world, or what?
When Bugs Bunny first appeared in 1935, he was called "HappyRabbit."
The first gold record ever awarded went to Glenn Miller for "Chattanooga Choo-choo."

Hey Clayton, I have an i pod with almost 3,000 songs on it. I am downloading my CD's to computer to I Pod. I play the i pod an hour or so a day and hoped I would hear all of the songs before I head back north to Iowa for the summer. I made it to one thou until I had to reset..... we are
a techie world and I can't wait to see what is next. I don't understand it all and constantly need help from Marla, but I love it. Carry on.....
I am guilty! :-) I cannot walk without my iPod. I would feel naked and not walk nearly as far!
