A couple of days ago I came face to face with the intimidatingly huge memory of a 160Gb iPod, and blinked. When I think that in 1956 this could have stored just one song...

160Gb isn't that terrifying to me, as I had 1.9Tb connected to my PC on Saturday and at least another half terabyte of drives sitting around the bedroom ... my photographs of three weeks in Japan came to 25Gb ... and I get about three episodes of Spooks to the Gigabyte, so grabbing maybe a dozen US series plus BBC radio series etc. soon fills up a chunk of space.

And at the per-MB rate I paid for a 250 GB drive the other week, that monster would now cost One Penny.

Or 2.6p (I think) at the price I saw today for 2gb memory sticks.

Hmm... DC-6 or DC-7 I wonder. I'm guessing the latter.

...to buying the 160GB model. The thought of having not only enough space for my whole CD collection, but room to double it was very tempting. But the size, the technology used vs. the "classic" iPods and a reality check came to play. 8GB isn't my whole record collection by far, but it's enough to keep me happy for any trip away from home that I'm likely to take.

And since joining the "iPod generation", I've really started getting to know my music collection (again).
