Apple offers the pretty, and I want it. WANT.

But I still haven't decided if I want to spend that much money on an mp3 player, and the US version (pretty!) is even more expensive than the normal one.
And then there is still the ipod mini to consider, which is pretty as well, plus there is potential green- or pinkness.
My situation is like that: theoretical I would have the money. I wouldn't have to ruin myself.
Practically, I think that 379 Euro / US Dollar is a lot of money, and I'm not sure if I want to spend it on something that I could probably live without. I mean, I have lived without any kind of mp3-player so far.
On the other hand, I'm going to be spending a lot of time away from home in the next year, possibly the next few years. Why have 400 CDs if you can't listen to them? And they could ALL be on my ipod. Not all of them would fit in the mini.

I know, I've been on and off about that for half a year now, I just can't decide. The white ipod is sort of ugly, but I think there are skins that would turn him pink? Maybe green? Hm, will have to figure that out. The U2 one is definitely pretty.

Anyway, my question: if you have an ipod (any kind of ipod), is there anything you'd have wanted to know in hindsight? Does it scratch easily, did the battery break etc. If there is anything you'd have wanted to be told before buying it. could you leave me a comment and tell me what it is?
Oh, and the last time I asked (yes, you are not hallucinating, I did ask before) people were so nice and told me about alternatives to the ipod. I looked at them, and while some of them are probably even better (and cheaper), let's face it: I am shallow and I want the pretty. It's going to be an ipod, or I'll try to survive with my tapes and my walkman for a year.
Gee, I sure wish I was less spoiled.

Remember the dreadful age meme that made us all seem like ancients compared to the rest of lj-land?

To prove that LJ is not jut a bunch of teenagers using yellow font on black background, I made you all take the Age Poll.

44 for people were nice enought to answer, and here I present the results.

First: the average age of my friendslist is 28 Years.
Acutally, it's 27.97, but who cares.

Now, that's good news, isn't it? It was actually about what I expected, but I'll get to that in a moment.

It's interesting that there are no real peaks. Age ranges from 18 to 44, and I really mean that. With the exception of 29, 32, 36, 40 and 43 year olds, every age is represented.
There are one small peaks at 21, 24 and 34.
I was geeky and made a chart. It's not very good though. )

Did the results surprise me?
Yes and no.

Hear my talk about age and fandom )

I found the results of the poll very interesting. Thank you to everyone who participated and revealed their age. It showed me once again how wonderful fandom is, how a common interest can connect people from all over the world and from all age groups. I cannot think of anything similar in "real" life that would bring people together like this.
(you can still take the poll if you want to.)
