Don't hate me because I'm nano

OK, listen up. Please stand and step forward if you meet the following qualifications: your lovely wife just handed you a brand spankin' new iPod nano, black, 4gb, for no discernible reason except she knew you wanted one and would never get one for yourself.

Anybody? Anybody?

I feel kind of funny standing here by myself...but I'll get over it! ;-)

(Unless you've actually held one of these tiny jewels in your hand, you have no idea how truly cool it is.)

Eric -
Those iPods? They're not baseball cards. You're not supposed to collect them all, you know.

;-)

Yeah, we're Apple's dream family come true. It really is ridiculous: two of us and five (so far) 'pods.

I keep telling myself that I really don't have any other (expensive) vices... ;-)

ah, to be some people...:P

I'll see your nano and raise you one iRiver H10, which I'm on my way to Best-Buy this very evening to pick up. We can differ in the debate on Windows/WMA vs. Apple/iTunes platforms, but we definitely share the mutual goodness of wives who feed our vices.

Enjoy the toy.

Rachel, I often feel that it's good to be me! ;-)

Rob, that's a slick little device you're after, too. I especially like the recording capability. Your students will be jealous!

Well, I'd start by saying you guys have drunk too much of the Apple koolaid, but that might make me sound jealous.

you guys have drunk too much of the Apple koolaid

It's delicious and good for you, too!

Posted by: Eric at October 7, 2005 09:07 PM

You guys are spoiled rotten, rotten, I tell ya!

And your point would be...? ;-)

AHH!! I wondered what you bought! I do the closing deposit at CC and came across you're HOT CHECK! haha J/K But when I read the name I was like "WOW I indirectly sorta kinda know this celebrity"

I've said it before, you're a very lucky man who married a very special lady!

There are a zillion men out there whose biggest dream is for their wife to hand them a major-leauge "dream toy", well, just because...

Bert, she didn't buy it at Circuit City. But we did spend a lot more money there than where she bought it. (And your comment is just another reminder of the need to be on one's best behavior when living in a relatively small town!)

Mr. Freen, my definition of a "major-league dream toy" probably would be a bit grander than an mp3 player, but I agree with your basic premise.

I have had to show quite a bit of restraint to not walk out of the Apple store without a Nano.

So far so good.

Please don't leave a lengthy glowing review of the Nano, cause it might push me over the edge.

Christopher, I'd love to tell you that you don't need one of these things...but I can't. ;-)

Posted by: Eric at October 9, 2005 08:34 PM

I'm not sure if this counts? My wife offered but... I decided to wait. My daughter is getting hers this week.

I'm so happy for you and doing quite well not feeling too jealous.
