may i ask why you even take so much time to spend on this web site at all if your so anti apple. what is the point? I wouldn't waste all this time talking about something i didn't actually like in some way, shape or form.

Why did you buy it then? And if it was a gift, converters are pretty easy to get ahold of.

I bought it to use as a thumb drive....

Because I learn from the experience.

You may have noticed that I actually do a little research before I post, and often post links to support my opinions.

Why not buy a 6GB mini then? Seems incredibly stupid to buy a nano to use as a thumb drive.

Actually, the 4 GB Nano is a reasonably priced thumb drive. I paid more for a 512 MB thumb drive a year or two ago.

The mini's too big, it's fragile (that spinny thing inside), and costs too much per MB. And, BTW, Apple's stopped selling them. They're kind of hard to find.

And, finally, it was kind of fun to run fdisk and wipe all that Apple software off the Nano.... Back to basics, no more proprietary stuff, just a solid NTFS file system....

It means a lot to hear a newbie say that I'm incredibly stupid, it means a lot!

Actually, the iPods, I believe, are and have been considerably cheaper than storage of the same size. I guess those discounts get pretty huge when you're ordering units in the millions.

<edit> Crucial's 2 GB flash drive is 190 bucks.

With only one new Intel chip available, there's little to distinguish a potential new iBook from a new Powerbook. In my opinion CPU clock speed doesn't cut it.

Such as with the G4 iBook and G4 Powerbook?

Did you guys see that 20-inch portable brief case looking thing that Dell showed at the Intel keynote? I couldn't imagine a purpose for it, but I guess others might. I just thought "good grief. that a heavy mess."

LAN parties.

Much easier than carrying a computer, screen, keyboard and mouse, a bunch of cables, ... around. And probably nicer to play games on than most laptops.
