every wednesday 10am-12midnight apple.com open up their refurbished shop. This is all the appliances that heve been sent back broken, or un wanted etc fixed to working standard (although e.g if say it was a shop demo ipod there may be surface damage on it) and sell the items at a percentage below the normal retail price.

There was a 10gb for �140 (about a %44 saving) but as the 15 was �160 i got that ( %36 saving as well as inc shipping and a warrenty)

hehe wierd, nita just got her pink mini ipod.

speaking of credit cards, i just blew a load on a mk5g to add to my setup (the only technics deck worth having IMO, vastly overpriced, but hey, the plastic is paying)

credit cards are great, there are a bunch of things i want to get, and will get, with the card it just means i can get it now rather than waiting, i was also able to pay for my course outright, my bed, mk5s, my prezzie to gareth for our anniversary and his bday.

I suppose its a blessing that i am good at putting money back on the card and not spending and spending.

Yea, i got an ipod a while back...20g but was rather costly. It is full of music though, and travels with me to the office everyday. Just a shame about the small battery life!

The new 4th gen ipods have more battery life than the thirds, u should have waited a week or 2 for those to go on sale. Doubt u'd get them as cheap tho. Plus the 5th gens look to have wireless functionality of some kind:

isn't there newer ones coming out to rival the ipod? cant rmber if it was sony or creative that were bringing out some bad boy ones!

Posted by Rick D on Aug-26-2004 22:34:

i think it was the sony ones that looked quite good, but IIRC from the article i read, they dont play mp3's. they only play special sony files, which is a bit ghey
