There are people on my roof. I know who they are (termite hunters) but it's still disconcerting. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 10:47
if you had a choice between 8GB and 16GB for a nano, what would you choose? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:45 22
- 8 GB is fine for someone who uses it for music only. If you load all of the album art or start adding videos, 8 GB dries up quickly. -- nm - Fuzzy Nov 27, 10:55
- I agree with JaxSean. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 10:50 5
  - It's for someone who already owns a (smaller) apple product -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:50 4
    - Get the 8 gb zune -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:52 3
      - on the new Nanos, you can not only listen, but PAUSE live radio. plus, a pretty decent video camera. - Guy Nov 27, 10:56 2
        
        For $65, I'll take the zune and go buy a camera with the money I saved. - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:58 1
        
        yeah, i think so. only to 15 minutes though. - Guy Nov 27, 11:00
- i just bought the 16 GB Nano - still tough choosing what music to fit on it -- nm - Guy Nov 27, 10:49
- What's the difference in price? - Guigue Nov 27, 10:48 8
  - 169 versus 199, regular price. on sale today for $11 off - which means the cheaper one is the better deal. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:49 7
    - The best thing about the bigger size is how well it works with Genius. I have about 27 GB of music on my iPod, but I can choose one song - Guigue Nov 27, 10:55 2
      - "IT'S much more fun" -- nm - Guigue Nov 27, 10:56 1
        
        Don't be so modest. You're actually quite a bit less fun with pre-made playlists. -- nm - Fuzzy Nov 27, 10:59
    - yeah, but double capacity for $30? -- nm - Guy Nov 27, 10:50 3
      - $30 plus 12% taxes -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:51 2
        
        *pets his Oregon NO sales tax* -- nm - Guy Nov 27, 10:51 1
        
        but I thought you lived in Maine? - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:52
- A Zune. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:48
- I've been mostly content with 4GB for years. -- nm - psilotum Nov 27, 10:47
- a Touch. -- nm - TFox Nov 27, 10:45 2
  - that's been explicitly ruled out -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:46 1
    - then the 8GB. i couldn't really use a nano for primary purposes, myself, so i wouldn't need expanses of space. -- nm - TFox Nov 27, 10:49
Just ordered a shipment of goodies from the British grocer....just couldn't pass up on the free shipping :) - MojaveMeg Nov 27, 10:44 2
- All of that sounds really good ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 27, 10:49

TFox - which beatles collection is it going to be? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:43 1

- something I've never quite understood is why the convention for college box scores is to not list the times for scoring plays. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 10:30
Thanks, AmazonMP3 for letting me know you added new titles to your already 500+ $5 albums, now it's over 600. - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:17 4

- answer for you: nothing you will care about at all. - TFox Nov 27, 10:21 2
  - Probably. I'm just sayin'. - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:22 1
    - I think the are all like "Hits En Voyo Fuego Dos Volume Excellente jajajajaja!" or some shit. -- nm - TFox Nov 27, 10:24

  - *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:27
- Paddyscotsman, paddyenglishman, and paddyirishman as luck would have it, all died on Christmas Eve. - Loyola Nov 27, 10:16 1
  - hee. St Peter has a potty mouth. (neechay.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:18
- But you going jovian on some beyotches would entertain the board. So I refuse, for the greater good -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 10:11 2
  - Then I'd be in jail and out of a job and unable to post on ST. I don't see how this works out for the grea.....oh. effers. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 10:15

Laser color printers are pretty cheap now. But the toners are so expensive. Do you need to get 3 toners for a color laser printer? Like ~$90 total. - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 27, 09:44 2
- not really. the toner cartridges in new printers always have something like half the toner in them. often the same thing with inkjets -- nm - turZorken Nov 27, 10:00 1

    - I hate when someone who can actually sing uses it ... I'm looking at you Mariah! - turZorken Nov 27, 10:34
