However, that's also when I learned more about Smart Playlists from Andy Ihnatko at www.cwob.com. Since I can only listen to a few hours of iTunes a day, I don't need my entire library on the iPod. Now I have plenty of room. Besides, how long do you think the 16G and 32G iPhones will take to arrive?</p> When I finally filled my old 40G iPod I thought I’d have to start “trimming”.

EVERYONE (“expert or not) pointed out the relationship between that size and the storage on some of the real computers we used and what an absurd waste of money buying them was. The “AT” was not down-graded because the builder told the company folks that it would cost more to get a smaller drive.

My elder Palm Pilot has more than that.

(I’m not sure the few MACS “marketing” was allowed to have had hard drives at all….)
