Ha! Yeah, I wasn't actually planning on getting one at first, but my buddy managed to "twist my arm" into it. His argument was that I really needed to play with the actual thing so that I'd get a feel for how it's supposed to look and feel. I have to admit he was right about that. Plus it turned out to be even cooler than I thought. Since the day I got the Touch, my iPod Video has been relegated to expensive portable 80 GB hard drive. Kinda sad actually... Darn Apple and their progress!
