The price of technology

So you don't want to pay that $150 for a new ipod? Well if you think about it now its worth every penny. just take a look at this. Its a $130 64Mb mp3 player from compaq circa 2001. I decided to make a smart playlist in itunes to see how much of my collection this could actually hold and i selected the options of  the songs must be 128kbs, and in the range of 4-5 minutes.  and the result. 15 songs, at 62 Mb. Of course you can more than likely double the songs to 30 in kbs was 64.  Anyway  the wonderful thing about technology is that now a 8GB 5th gen ipod nano  is about the same price of this and holds about 1000 songs more.  So next time your hesitent about buy the new laptop or mp3 player just remember "if  patient in about 6 months to a year there will be something better"
