Hello, everyone! I have been a dedicated ipod fan (without owning one yet) ever since they came out, and have been enjoying and observing this website for a while now also. I really wanted to get an ipod last summer, but I had just purchased an ibook and was too poor. :( I was thrilled when the new, sleek-looking ipods were introduced this summer, and am proud to announce that I placed my order for a 15 gig on Monday night. I had a music quote engraved on the back and am anxiously waiting for it to come. (This fall I will be a sophomore in college, a music performance major. Needless to say, music IS my life.) So, I am currently taking suggestions from anyone on how to make the waiting period easier. ;) It's killing me!!! Also, I hope the new iskins come out soon, because I really liked all the colors they had available. Right now the only ones out are the speck ones, which are ok but I was really sold on color variety before. Anyway, time to quit rambling...good to be a part of the ipod community!! :)
