I am considering procuring a 20GB iPod in the immediate future, however, as someone who doesn't have a particular fast connection at home, and doesn't have an Apple interface at all, I am rather skittish about the entire business, and so I turn to you lot. Tell me everything you think I should know.*

[Poll #589083]

*I have also been told that once you set up one computer as your base, you can't use other computers to upload your music without losing all the contents of your iPod. I have also been told there is a way around this. Educate me kids, because my base will not be a consistent thing, like, ever.

ETA: Thank you, all of you, for your assistance!

I wish someone had mentioned that sometimes downloading programs will screw up the ipod somehow. I downloaded one of the LJ updating programs and my ipod crashed and I had to reboot the whole thing. THis hasn't happened since when I've downloaded programs like realplayer and flash, but it did happen once and it took a while on the phone with the apple support tech to sort things out.
