Does anyone know if I can run 2 iPods off one Mac?

I have ordered the 40gb click wheel iPod and already have a 20gb 2nd gen iPod that my wife will use.

The questions are:

what will happen if the music library is greater in size than the iPods capacity?

will my mac try to update software to the wrong iPod?

there are probably a hundred other things that might go wrong that I haven't though of....

It will take and create a playlist of the songs that will fit on the iPod. Forgot where it is in the preferences, but you will want to setup playlists of each identity of the iPods.
