As weird as it may seem, prior to last Sunday, I was not a device holding member of the iPod community.  My wife and both of my older sons each had one.  In fact, the oldest had gones through more than one.  And I had borrowed a Shuffle for Lotusphere 2007.  It wasn't that I didn't want one, but rather that I wasn't willing to settle on a lesser model.  I don't want to have to decide which songs to put on the device.

So I was completely surprised when my wife and children presented me with a shiny new black 30GB iPod.  My wife made the correct choice as I was more than willing to sacrifice the smaller size of the Nano for the capacity of the regular iPod.  Now, I can load up my entire library and take it with me.  It has also motivated me to rip all of my CDs that I hadn't gotten around to doing previously.

I just wonder if I should partition off some space for a Nomad installation.
