My 16 yr old daughter got here NaNo ipod for xMas this yr.
For those outta the loop it's the smallest ipod ( I hope ) . With a screen that had to have been designed by an optimologist with stock in contact lenses. Holds about 500 songs. Yeah I don't see the reason either. But then again im way beyond 16 almost 3 times over.
She's a straight A honors student 11th yr. Works on the school paper and has 2 jobs. One is just feeding the neighbors horses in the afternoon and doing stalls. She has done this since she is 10 years old. Takes about an hr a day.
Now how could I look her in the eye and tell her she couldn't download music while she was here to visit Dad for X mas. She's still stuck with dial up at home. So off she goes .. I come back and low and behold there it is. Limewire, on my machine.
Talk about hard love !
Against my better judgment I let her go at it. She was beaming when it was over and had gotten 230+ songs. I think my machine survived thus far. Ran everything I had before she was out of the driveway. And the log looks good and no side effects .YET!
Was worth the risk to see such a look of joy on her face.
My daughter is gone now and so is Limewire.
WHEW!
