iPod for Valentine's Day

My wife love's music and so do my kids. She has a lot of CDs and listens to music all the time. (I listen to news back and forth to work). She's been using iTunes for a while and making her own CDs. She gets lost in iTunes listening to music for hours.

So for Valentine's Day, I got her a 20GB iPod and the Belkin Tunecast II FM Transmitter and Car Adapter for it. She LOVED it!!

I had to get a firewire card too since the Dell she uses didn't have one. I got a $19.95 one from CompUSA and it works fine. XP recognized it and it worked on the 1st reboot.

Setup was easy and everything I bought allows the iPod to charge in the dock or in the car. The 1st time it recognizes the iPod there's some initialization and registration and then it syncs her iTunes right to the iPod. Every time she makes a change, it syncs it up. It's done very, very well. Nce job Apple!! The only comment is the touchpad is sensitive and though I'm used to a touchpad on my notebook, my wife isn't so it took some getting used to.

All in all, a VERY successful Valentine's Day!
