Ipod 60 gig
So after years of resisting I got an Ipod 60GIG IN A very WEAK MOMENT.
Good things - for an extra 25 quid I got a cassette connection so I can play my music in the car. Cool and sounds good - random playing of currently 2000 tracks, Loaded up photos ok - good display and random showing is great. Ah, but then videos. Bummer. Tried to get Quicktime pro v7. Seems its a USA only Apple add on so can't entre a UK post code. Not mentioned when I paid 299 quid for the 60gig version. Bastards. Went to CNET.com downloaded AVS Video format convertor - 29 dollars same as Quicktime v7 pro and works on many more file formats. Cool. All those great web Nurburgring videos load up perfectly, as do videos from my digital cameras. So why dont Apple let you do this - because they want your dosh thats why. So they only let you download from their pay for video site. Except that doesn't apply to the UK yet!!!! What a load of bollocks!!! They dont tell you that WHEN THEY SAY YOU CAN BUY A VIDEO IPOD!!!

Just a quick note - extras to date with the Ipod - 29 dollarsfor video conversion, 11.50 pounds for a set of decent Dark Grey Sony earphones with a built in volume control (stops you having to get to the Ipod in your pocket to adjust the volume) that dont say "I have an Ipod so steal me and beat me up" .
Car power supply and stereo system cable and a dongle - 25 quid - so I can use it in the car and connect it to the stereo system. Note that the face of the Ipod (including the 60 gig) scratches easily and really needs a case - but they dont give you one,...

What is the difference between a British pound and a quid?
