Yes I know, MP3 players have been in the market for probably over seven years.  And IPOD hit the market a few years ago.  You would think someone like me would have been an early adopter to this great NEW technology.  However, I was not.  I was more or less skeptical.  Many of my friends got the IPOD as soon as it came out, and it seemed everyone I knew had problems with theirs.  That only made me more cautious.  Not to mention the outrageous price apple was charging.  Finally, a few weeks ago I just got sick of numerous CDs everywhere in my car and thousands of songs on my i-tunes that I could not burn fast enough.  Therefore I went to apple.com and bought my first IPOD (Black 80GB Classic)!!!  Now my life has been changed and revolutionized.  Thank you Technology.
