My latest toy

Okay folks, I really feel like I am coming into the 21st century. Today I purchased an MP3 player with my hard earned money from CLS!!! I'm very excited. I knew things were bad when on Monday at work I had to stop what I was doing to eject a tape from my tape player and turn it over so I could hear the other side. Yes, that player was from the early nineties. I know it's sad--what with being married to a techno geek and all, but I'm finally catching up with the rest of the world. Now, don't get me wrong. I didn't buy the latest and greatest player, but I got one to suit my needs and I think I'll be very happy with it. For those who are wondering, I got the ilo 256MB digital audio MP3 player. It's a fairly cheap little number (due to to the MB size), but it has expandable memory and will play for 16 hours on 1 AAA battery.

I want to give props to Wallie world for the excellent price on the previously mentioned device - $69.98 (that's with USB cable, earbuds, belt clip case, and armband). They wanted a little too much for the 1GB model (sorry, Rew), but I feel like I made a good purchase. Would Dave Ramsey be proud? Possibly, I did some research, I planned and saved (sort of), I shared my plan with my other half (very important), and I paid cash for the thing! All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase and I hope that those of you who are still listening to ratty cassette tapes will soon join those of us who have stepped into the 21st century (no matter how small that step may be).
