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!

I have the 30-gig, which they no longer make, and I handed down my comparatively-ancient, comparatively-thick 5-gig one to my husband, who is still using it without any trouble. I haven't tried to use multiple computers as my base, so I can't help with that, but I love my iPod -- even just a bit more than my TiVo.

When they first came out, many many moons ago, I'd planned on getting ther 30GB one, but there were all those Window/Mac issues, so I said no. And then there was the battery issue, but now that everything is resolved, I'm rethinking yet again.
