   lol, if you are familiar with MP3's, and overall PC systems, you might find this amusing. I would like to also add that this is a great idea for beginners. Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question, for only the ones that are not asked, are the ones considered as so.[Edited by MonkeyMan on 2006-01-16 13:15:21]

   The things people do to make money... 65 GBP (Great Britain Pounds) is roughly $115 US Dollars. For those who knows nothing about iPod, I suppose it may be worth it. It's just difficult for me to accept the fact that people are paying $115 for a 40 minute lesson on the "art of iPod." But I do have to say iPod is making its tertiary market very lucrative; even something as abstract as this is able to make considerably good money. iPod is truly a generation phenomenon.

   But learning how to use a new gadget is half the fun. And the very idea of having to pay the same price of an iPod to be told how to use it is silly, but that's only how a geek (me) thinks.

    Nothing surprises me... after being told by my mother a few months ago "well I sent it, I don't know what you did wrong" because I didn't get an email she sent me.. this coming from a lady in her 60's who was taking a class in Scotland called "Computers for the technically disabled"..and silly me having used email successfully for at least 10 years *rolleyes. I didn't bother arguing that pointI wish they would make people take a course on basic computing before allowing them loose on the internet.. something like a learner permit for drivers....perhaps include it as part of the package. Maybe then people would be a little more security aware and less likely to get into or cause problems. It's amazing how many people think they are protected just because their PC came with an Anti virus program installed. Someone needs to explain to them that being there isn't enough they have to update it and actually USE IT *rolleyes.That's still a bit pricey just for an Ipod.. but maybe for a basic PC lesson it would be worth it for people like my mom.

He bought a couple of T-shirts, some underwear, and a pair of jeans, and it came to over $700. (I felt totally out of place in there)
