Adam's Profile

I guess I'm a gadget man (on a college student budget). I love my Pentax Optio S digital camera and my Logitech MX900 8-button mouse (and some day I'd like to get a BT phone, if Verizon ever offers one). But I'm also a breed of iPod user not mentioned in the article. An iPod Convert. I have long walks to class at school and my hand-me-down Sony minidisc player was too much of a hassle and I didn't like having to load new songs every night. I needed to have more songs at my fingertips. After some quick research, I realized that the iPod was the thing for me (and a few million others, I guess). I should mention that at the time I had a one-year-old P4 Dell, not a shabby computer by any means. I went to the Apple Store intending to get a 5GB, 2G iPod. I left with the 10GB (in retrospect a FAR wise investment). Fast forward a year... I sold the Dell on eBay (for CRAP money, because I was too anxious for the new computer), and now have a DP G5, and 15GB 3G iPod. I got the Belkin Voice Recorder, Griffin iTrip, Timbuk2 carrying case, and Monster iCable. My iPod (referred to by my co-workers as the "MP-thingy") plays me through my work day, and sits, unwaivering and unskipping, by my side when I drum along to its music. It walks to me class, stores my calendars and contacts, and keeps me company when I remember to go the gym. I'd rather leave the house without my cell phone than my iPod. I guess I'm a poor man's Gadget Man and a Thank You Apple Man.
