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.*

*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!

Random thoughts:

1. I have the 40GB, which I will never ever fill, and they don't even make anymore. But I like having that space. *g*

2. Video iPods are coming shortly, and ABC has announced you'll be able to buy downloads of programs like Desperate Housewives.

3. If you put it on Shuffle, don't always use the >> button to fast-forward to the next song. My battery was running out all the damn time, so I brought it to the store, and had a huge V8 Moment. The techs were really nice, and didn't condescend to me at all, but I felt like such a dumb-ass. Make lots of playlists. *g*

4. Nothing can beat the iPod for looks, and I am shallow.

5. Your computer will want you to name the iPod. Choose wisely. *g*

I think, perhaps a 40GB may be the way to go for me. I thought the 20MB would be it, but maybe not.

p.s. I think I will name him Neville.
