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!

There's programs to upload music back to your HD as well, and there's an option to turn off the automatic updating (that's what wipes your music off, so the horror stories can be avoided!). Really, the biggest thing is to make sure you have a USB 2.0 port, which most newish computers have. And if not, ask at the shop- I bought a USB card for $20 in order to use mine.
