Annals Of A Pilgrim

Ashley Joins the 21st Century

I suppose some people might imagine that with all the techno gadgetry I have a way of accumulating, and my love affair with nigh on anything computer based, that I would have a portable media player. Alas, for the past several years my nearest claim to such fame is that my CD player is also MP3 and Atrac format capable. Not exactly up with the times, is it?

So how have I joined the 21st Century? Well, today I bustled on down to the Boxing Day sale bonanza (as much for the potential savings as the sight of the entire population descending on a small number of carparks) and picked up an iPod Classic 80 gig. Quite cool really, plays video and can store photos too, which was all the craze a generation or two back. Plus it cost me a similar amount to what my sister paid for a 30 gig years ago (ha!). So now I've got Amarok all set-up to sync with it, and I have shifted 125 CDs of listening pleasure onto it, plus some podcasts. Welcome to the 21st Century, Ashley.
