You see I didn't realise that I needed an iPod. I was guilty of looking down my nose at the silly people who cut themselves off from life, earphones in situ, and failing to relate to the world around them. Also I'm a technophobe about some things. So there's my Daughter, buying me a Christmas present (well combined birthday and Christmas present) and it's a 3rd generation iPod Nano. It's brilliant. I'm converted. Not only have I put all my record collection (sorry CD collection) on it but I've got photo's and videos and notes and all sorts. Forgive me for gushing but I am 55 and consider such things only slightly short of black magic. But the best thing is iTunes. All the songs I've ever wanted in one place. Don't have to buy the whole album for just one song - can buy individual tracks! Wow! and then there are all the freebies (even Sarah didn't know about the free audiobooks on podcasts, free nostalgia radio, ghost stories, rugby podcasts, friday night BBC comedy programmes and lots more. I searched 'The Battle of Waterloo' and 'Agincourt' and came up with free podcast accounts of the battles. There are even
free walking guides around London and free guides to the major art galleries and museums. Just download and walk.S'brilliant.
And I can listen to Maddy Prior in the bath on my docking station.......aaaaah luxury
