Well, things are pretty much the same as always. The new car is still broken and is waiting on a new batch of parts. This time it is getting a new gas tank and other assorted parts. It's getting better
though. Now the light only comes on some times.
Me and the Sony didn't take. After using it a couple of weeks, I decided I couldn't live with the battery life. So back it went. In it's place I got a nice little Gateway M210. Not quite as nice as the Sony but much lighter and much better battery life. The screen is also quite good. Doesn't match the Sony but pretty close.
While I was traiding out gadgets, I decided I didn't really need a giant iPod anymore. So I sold my iPod Photo. It served me well the few times I used it. In it's place I got a nice iPod Mini. It's much smaller, better battery life and hold PLENTY of music.
