Second Best But Not Half Bad
I received a 30 gig iPod (Apple Computer's popular mp3 player that holds up to 7500 tunes) from my wife's side of the family in June for my 50th birthday. It was (notice I said "was" not "is") their top of the line model.
Now on Monday of this week, Apple Computer announced updates to their line of iPods. Wouldn't you know it--the 30 gig iPod was updated to 40 gig just three months after I got my 30 gig model.
Well, it was fun being on top while it lasted, but time marches on and so do Apple's frequent updates to their product lines. So now I am "stuck" with second best, but to be honest second best is not all that bad in this case. I still have a good 10 gig of space left on my iPod. And besides, the 30 gig model isn't made anymore, so now I guess my iPod qualifies as a collector's item.
