me and my ipod
I am so excited. I woke up early today. I am going to the Mac Expo in London with my friend, Ms Victoria Sponge. That, of course, would be reason enough for excitement, a day off work and lots of Mac stuff. But, no, the real reason is that Mrs McMuffin has agreed that I should buy myself an iPod. She actually acted a bit like a pod person herself. Mrs McMuffin usually poo poos my techi-gadget desires, but this time, for some unfathomable reason, she readily agreed, and to confuse me even more, she suggested that I should get the 40GB version as it probably represented better value for money in the longer term! I did have to promise to love it and to feed it and to clean up after it and to take it for walks, but that shouldn't be too hard for me to do. What is going on? You think you know someone and then they do something you don't expect. Maybe it's some kind of test. Maybe I am supposed to decide not to buy one because I really don't need it. Maybe at some point in the future I will be able to point back to this day and say that is when our relationship ended, the day Mrs McMuffin agreed to me buying an iPod.
Who knows. All I know is that I am off for a hard day of all things Mac.
By the way, I also mentioned to Mrs McMuffin that Apple had released a 20" flat panel iMac, but she didn't seem to be very impressed.

Deeply concerned that the McMuffin family appear to be comming apart at the seams over something as minor as an imac show. We at Microsoft and the Intel corporation can help this relationship back from the dark side

I'm afraid Mr McMuffin the diagnosis of "gadgetitis" has to be applied to your condition. It's well known and a simple tour of the net will provide some quite familiar conumdrums to those discussed over some fine red-wine and gorgonzola. I must say that in the dead of one of those sleepless nights I have often wondered about the advantage I achieved when upgrading from my first ever calculater (Casio FX-39) to a more "racier" model when, infact, all I ever used was addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!!

Too true, Mr Carrot-Cake. It is clear we both hanker after those simpler, more innocent days-although I did tell Mr McMuffin to check he still had an ipod after you left.
