Birthday Gift - iPod

Well, my birthday is actually a few days away still, but my parents got me an iPod 20Gb for it. I can tell I was most excited when I saw my wife holding the package out to me (it was sent via the mail since my 'rents live in the US and I in Germany).
Well, my Dad said that he loved his iPod so much that I should have one too ;-)
As some of you know by my 'Custom User Title' under my Avatar that it said 'In want of iPod'. Well, I am no longer in want.
Any recommendations as to what I should change it to?

Hehe, very similar situation here, Diablo.
Also close to the birthday (not as close as you are), but I have a guess I won't be that lucky like you. I think I might get an iSight, since I do a lot of videochat with my parents and my brother. Anyway, it's good to be a son and have nice parents!

About your avatar subtitle: since yours came true that quick, I could ask you for this: In want of G5pb! I am hardly waiting for the G5 powerbook and need some support...
thanks in advance

Zammy, as a Mac associate, and a person who lives in a town I spent some time in and enjoyed very much, I will change my user title to reflect the G5pb.
It is nice to be the son of fabulous parents like mine.

Here's an alternate view. Instead of saying what you want, say what you're enjoying the most.

It's my big day soon, too, and I've dropped several not-too-subtle hints towards various family members.

Doubt if it'll come off, though.

Okay, quick question. I tried to Daisy-chain my iPod to my firewire harddrive (Harddrive to computer then iPod into the firewire drive), but my iPod won't mount. Any suggestions?

Make it "in want of G6 PB" as if you put the G5 they'll come out just the week after you get it with the graving.. Nice gift

diablojota, it should work. :/
