Well, I bought the iPod Nano...you know, the real tiny one? Only cuz I had the money. I have no kids (unless if you count 3 cats), I'm not married, I live in a cheap apt, probably only get abt 4 or 5 bills a month. :-) so why not spluge on myself.
However, if you find youself that you want to listen to more music for your buck, get the Creative. You can get some that are 10 gb/20gb etc. The less gb there is, the cheaper the device there is. iPod does the exact same things that any other mp3 player does...it's just the cool factor. I like the nano simply because its small enough to wear while working (I'm a vet tech, and having the dogs barking in my ears actually hurts...and I'm deaf), and the fact that it's a flash based player, so if I drop it or bang into something, it won't cause damage as a hard drive based player (and those are the 20/40gb models). Which is perfect for excersing. Technology is changing, so I bet in abt 2 or 3 years, you'll see 10/20 gb models flash based players. And the stuff you had "way back when" would be furtile. Plus if you get a nice sized player, you can put ALL of your music on it...listen to it when you're driving, listen to it while cleaning the house, listen to it while you're waiting for a doctor's appt or whatever. Maybe the smaller size of your mp3 player is holding you back from listening to it often. When I was thinking abt getting a mp3 player, I thought I can't really use it often because I have cds, and I'm not music obsessed, and I used to couldn't bring it to work (I worked in surgery, then transferred to overnights). Now..I use it whenever I can. In my car, at home, working, etc.
Remember those old days where 8 tracks were considered so cool? Then records came out, and it became a god send?! :-) Of course....I wasn't alive back then to know. sorry. :-) My time, was probably when CDs came out...I was forced to wait 4 years or so AFTER cds came out to get my own cd player.
I have no clue abt buddhist reglion. But, I had smoke pot when I was younger. I didn't have a "stash" or anything like that. I smoked probably like 10 times TOTAL in my whole life...if someone offered me pot now, I would look at them and say, that's for hippies and younger folks. Gawd..I'm getting old.
