Well I have decided to get an iPod mini because i am tired of carrying my cds and having to costantly buy batteries for something that will only has 4 hours worth of power. The iPod mini alone will cost $250. Plus the better sounding headphones makes it $290.But wait theres more, The dock aka charger costs $40, which brings the total to $330. Oh but theres more, The iSkin (the protective casing for it) will cost $25. And lastly the firewire (cable to load songs to and from the iPod will cost $20. So for a quality mp3 player plus fixins = $375. This is equal to 2 1/10 weeks of paychecks.My main problem... I still have to get the fucking job!!!
