It may be summer outside, but it's winter in my office. I have on a sweater and my denim jacket and I'm still a bit on the cold side.

At least your days don't have a high over 100 degrees... Bloody deserts.

I´m not Candian but I was just listening to the Arrogant Worms and I´m going to watch Cube in a  few minutes. :)

Happy Canada Day! :)

I've spent mine reading and gardening.  And it's fairly cool this evening!  So not a bad day at all!

Came home yesterday.
Fell asleep.
Awake now.
Hi.

*grins*
Actually, I'm fine, not too tired and busy catching up on news...

*waves*

*waves hello*

We do have a day that comes after 3rd July and before 5th July, if that's what you mean ;)

*sets up in shade with a maple latte & a good book (reading The Memory of Running right now ~ so far most excellent)*

Its another one of those days when I REALLY want to move in here for good.  Infinity won't mind will he? 

How's your PDA Jen?  I would love one but have almost decided that its time to save up for an iPod. 

Is it easy to get songs from my cds into an iPod?  I don't know anything about it yet...

How many MP3's might it hold?  And so I assume it comes with earphones?  I'm so ignorant so please excuse my stupid questions! 

Sounds like something maybe I should look into - my memory is so brutal these days.  Hmmmmm...

Hmmm... I'm not sure how many songs it will take. In order for it to play songs you hafta get a tiny expansion card. There's a package deal going on at future shop, where the palmOne Zire 31 comes with a card and headphones. I didn't go for that deal, though, I bought an card seperatly. The card I got, however, is huge-ish, 512mb, so it should hold TONS of songs (most songs seem to be between 4 and 6 mb, so it shouldn't fill up too quickly). I don't think that the battery life is nearly as good as something like an iPod or another staright MP3 player. But the functionality that I get makes up for it entirely.

The way I learned about this kinda thing was, literaly, to browse around the Future Shop web site, reading customer reviews and using their comparison charts to decide what works best. My husband has a straight MP3 player (a Creative Muvo, he uses it for music and Audiobooks while at work) and we chose it the same way, by browsing and comparing.

I got the card for 65$. It was on sale. So, it cost a bit but I think the extra storage for music and books and programs was well worth it. Plus, I didn't get the regular deal they offered, I went for a refurbished model ($129), got FS's two year warranty, (much better than the manufacturer) and got a larger card. It worked out near enough to the same as their deal and got me more starage and a warranty that seems logical considering it's refurbished. :)

The battery only lasts about four hours when I'm playing music and doing stuff, so if you want something that lasts longer you may want to do more investigating, but I don't have a problem with charging it every night and I don't have a tendancy to play music for hours on end. I have, however, been spending most of my days reading ebooks (reading the Farseer stuff again, heh) and managing my schedules and lists and programs.
