In regards to the iPods, I'm not an ipod person nor a person for listening to music on the move, but I did not know the 60gb model was larger either. These were released a month or so after I was made redundant from my work at an Apple Store and used to shift tons of the iPod 20GB and Nanos there.

Thanks! It's just surprising is all. I can tilt my PC's screen any direction I want to get the best viewing angle. When I was in the store, the lights were a bit glare-y on the screen and when I went to move the screen back more it suddently stopped. Small disappointment but not a huge deal, I don't think I'll be standing up while using my laptop too often
Yeah, I was playing with the iPods while my wife was looking at software and I noticed that the 60gb model was thicker. Nearly twice as thick, in fact. Felt like a brick compared to the 30gb model! If I get enough cash from selling off the rest of my PC stuff I think I'm going to get one. It'd just be nice to store my whole library on one unit, plus use it as a file drive, plus have the ability to go back to the place I was in my audiobook. I installed a car stereo that has a line-input in the front, so I can just connect the iPod right into my car. My work is about a 2 hour round trip when I go in (I'm telecommuting this year so it's not too often, yay!), so it's nice to have something to listen to on the way.
