And I was thinking of MY dad when I referenced Rockford Files -- not yours.

Yup, Im in Slovenia (no apostrophers on this keyboard). And I am wearing your shoes. The good news is that the shoes are very comfy. Well worked in. I havent rolled over on my ankle yet either - I guess I dont pronate as much as I thought. Thanks, man.

At least in my dad's case, it seems to be more functional than about being able to cart everything around with you. He's got an mp3 player for hotels, and Rockford Files seasons because he happened to find them.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps that's just him, though.WCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000696822659632556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260174438615435300.post-15898330068124035662008-10-06T20:09:00.000-05:002008-10-06T20:09:00.000-05:00Richard Scrimger !

I'll watch what I can find, and if I can't find anything I like, I won't watch.

She asked specifically about the IPOD touch where you can put photos etc. But who would even want to see my photos and why would I need to carry around a mini-computer when I have a laptop at home that can do everything the IPOD does? I think as you get older, you want less instead of more. There's less time to use everything,and tons of songs, photos would just be more clutter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
