On the plus side, last Thursday I won an auction for an "unwanted gift" white iPod Nano. I didn't make a massive saving, but did effectively get 2GB for the price of 1 :)

Not only did my Dana arrive on schedule (well done, Portable Technology!), but the iPod turned up in the post as well. Two toys to play with this evening - I shan't know which one to start on!

No, that's not true. One of them is an "it just works" Apple product, the other is a complex device requiring careful setup and choosing of options - bit of a no-brainer for a geek like me ;)
