Are you going for a Touch or Classic? Nano?

Classic. 120GB. It's just for my car. I have sold my jetta for a pathfinder and I was using a tape adapter in the jetta. The pathfinder only had a CD player so I bought a Kenwood DDX714 so I could use the ipod with it. :D

But the bottom connection is messed up where it only comes through the left speakers unless it's held at one very precise spot.

I have an iphone, but it's annoying to have it in the glove box and connected when I get a call or text. I have to blue tooth hook up, but mainly me and my friends text so it's no help.

But it lives in the glove box, so there's no need for a touch and the current one has about 30gb's of music on it, so a nano or touch wouldn't quite work.

I bought coffee, bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning.

I should be getting my bike on Friday.

PS3 Dualshock 3 Controller and a new set of speakers for car.

Buying system peripherals sucks anymore. $60 USD for a controller? $100 for the Xbox 360's wireless usb connection?

If you can, check out half.com. It's part of e-bay and they have set prices on everything. I got 3 PS3 games and a PS2 game for about $60.

You're in UK, so I'm not sure if they have a UK site, since it is e-bay, but everyone else that wants books, games, movies, etc... without bothering with auctions should check it out.

I've been after a decent BT mouse for my MBP for a LONG time now. This looks like it could be a winner. Should be here by the end of the week.
Hmm let me know how it holds up, I am currently using a mx620 for both my my mac (freaking love that mouse!) but I would like a fairly decent one for my laptop, and I can't stand the small sized mice because I got big fat hands.

Way... way too many specs to list.
I've had a V470 for about a year and a half now. I'd imagine the M555 would last about the same

Any suggestions on a hard drive? I'm thinking a Seagate or WD with a speed of 7200rpm. That combined with Snow Leopard this fall will make it seem like a brand new machine! :)

Or at least I'm hoping.

I'm gonna be installing a Seagate 7200 tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for reminding me btw, I wanna compare boot time differences. Time to restart my Mac now.. ;)
