Does anyone here have a iPod? I am really looking at getting one and I want one with 5,000 songs. What are the pros and cons for these and where can I get one the cheapest? Keeping in mind I live in Canada. I heard Costco is the cheapest...

I'm considering an iPod, too. The mini one, not the full-sized one. Something I can listen to on the plane, in the airport, and while at work in the cubicle farm.

I personally don't have an Ipod and don't need one, but from the people that I know that have one, love theirs. Easy to use and they have music where ever they go. I would reccomend getting it from an Apple Store (do they have those in Canada Clipse?) because they will let you return them with no questions asked.

Two people I know had problems with theirs regarding battery life and not being able to upload songs and the Apple Store took them back without a problem.

I know that Sony has an MP3 player out for a little more money but it has a much longer battery life and a color screen.

There is a thread in the Premium Lounge titled "Any Itune fans?" where a couple of people talked about their Ipod. I am not sure if I can copy what they said due to the fact that it is in the Premium Lounge.

Hope this helps.

I don't think they have an Apple Store up here that I know of, but I will check it out. And sorry I mean an iPod mini too. I know someone who won it from the pepsi challenge and he had it break and sent it back no problem and got a new one. I am going to be getting a deck for my car soon and want it so I can hook it up there. Do I need the special cords for it and the stand?

Thank you everyone who recommended the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. We have a jacuzzi tub in our bathroom that is the hardest thing to clean. I don't think I ever really got the full soap scum off it until I tried the Eraser... My goodness is my tub ever clean now!!!!! Just colour me happy!

I am so happy with this product - if you are in to candles/incense etc., you must buy this product (I hear that you can get one at Sams with 3 discs but I haven't verified this).

Anyway, I got mine at Wal-mart for around $32 and it came with a disc (the mountain one). It didn't take long for me to realize that I had bought one of the best things ever.

Thank you for posting this. My bf and i have been talking about this but without knowing more about it i was really not wanting to spend the money for it (mostly because i probably have 15 or more candles around here that are perfectly good still). They do have it at Sams with three discs for just a little more then the Walmart price. i love candles, but i do like soft scents so thanks for rating the discs. i think the vanilla would be great for me, i would love the holiday one too.

Talking about the scent stories reminded me, don't buy the Glade wisp, it sucks! You can only smell it if you're 2 feet away.

i use it and your right, it works great. It gets out everything and it doesnt matter if i forget to spray it right when i take it off or not. i like the Shout Wipes also. i keep them in my glove box of my car because it never fails if i stop for drive through it ends up on my shirt. Now i do not eat drive through much but i keep them in my car still because if i get anything on me i can use the wipe and not worry about the stain when i get home.
