So got an iMac a while ago. He loves it, and has been trying to get me to try out my account on it, which I finally did. I can say that I don't hate it. And there are things about it that I like (such as the fact that it's Not Microsoft). I played with it some more, and I think I might like it a little.<\/p>\n

And then he decided he wanted an iPod mini, since the portable cd player he has won't consistently play burned cds. So we traipsed off to the Evil<\/strike> Apple store and he got a blue 4GB iPod mini.<\/p>\n

I wandered around looking at all the pretties and was poring over the PowerBooks and iBooks. See, one, I hate Windows. I love Windows. I hate Windows. Let's just say I'm conflicted. I know that Windows is Not Safe At All from a data security standpoint, but my brief forays into the desktop Linux world were frustrating and annoying. would much rather have me off of Windows, and intellectually I agree with him. Plus, my PC has been a little boogerhead lately, with the USB ports acting funny, and rebooting itself every now and then. We haven't determined if it's hardware or software yet. I'm thinking that if I do<\/i> decide to get a new computer, I think I'd want a laptop. And if I get a laptop, I really don't see any reason why a PowerBook wouldn't be the way to go. So maybe in a couple of months when Eris ('s iMac) is paid off I might be getting a PowerBook. Assuming, of course, that my PC doesn't blow up in the mean time.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the Evil<\/strike> Apple Store: Somehow I walked out with a 1GB iPod Shuffle. Oh Em Gee but it is so tiny and so cute! I named her Twiggy, because she's soooo skinny. This acquisition required me to install iTunes, which I had been resisting. Why I've been resisting I certainly couldn't tell you now because wow is that an awesome program or what??<\/p>\n

And now for the meme, which prompted this confession post, because I've fallen in love with Twiggy and iTunes:<\/p>\n

Put your iTunes playlist on shuffle, then add “in my pants” to the end of the first 20 titles that come up. Here we go!<\/p>\n
