btw, i have about 16gigs of music. deciding what music to put on my ipod took some work initially, but i'm incredibly happy with it.

I just bought a 15gb version but wanted a mini like crazy. Problem was that its backordered everywhere...for a good 6 fvcking weeks! I can't wait that long. I'm probaby gonna sell my 15gb when the minis come back in stock though.

Question: I bought from the apple website and I used the educational discount. Why would anyone NOT use the educational discount when all you have to do is click on the educational discount link. Does apple somehow check each order that is placed thru the ed. discount and make sure that the buyer is indeed a student/teacher/faculty?

I doubt it. That's what i'm doing through my high school.

Is the ipod good for workouts? and are there cases for working out/jogging/biking? thanks

i have the mini, and it's great for workouts. either lifting or cardio. the case is awesome because it takes all the beating i can give it at the gym.

Wheatmaster, that article your linked was from 2/03. If you don't like it you can always sell it later for at least 75% of its value. The used prices on iPods are usually around retail.
