For the past month or so, Zach has persistently threatened to bring me a little bit further into the twenty-first century (kicking and screaming, no doubt). How so? By buying me an mp3 player.
Yes, that's right. I still have a portable CD player.
In fact, up until 25 December 2004, I was using the same portable CD player that my folks gave me during my sophomore year of high school (1996, or so). I'm as shocked as anyone else that it lasted as long as it did. Though, granted, it wasn't much to look at by the end. Anyway, Zach bought me a new one for Christmas, as he bought himself a mp3 player to use at work. He'd joke, now and then, that my gift for getting into graduate school would be my own choice of mp3 player.
But now, with the Possibility of graduate school becoming a Reality, I'm being asked to pick a model and manufacturer. Now, I may know the Governor-General, Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister of Canada, but I don't know sh*t about "technology." So, if I had the opportunity to get an mp3 player, what would be good for me?
Obviously, I'm asking for suggestions here, folks. If I'm going to be tossed violently into another twenty-first century "thingy," I might as well get something good out of it.
