The iTunes Shop is a bad thing

At some point in the past I must have assigned my debit card to my apple ID. I think I once bought my sister some iTunes vouchers through it. This now means I can buy stuff without needing to enter any card details.

… and I can do this from my iPod Touch … from anywhere with an Internet connection.

This is really bad, with a few clicks I can buy entire albums and have them immediately.

It’s a really nice device, and I won’t go on about it since the Internet is full of iPod waffle. It’s a much better music player than my N810 (which will now be used as my car’s GPS and portable Skype) and with built in WiFi I can use its browser to go online too :)

I’ve not made my N180 totally redundant, it’s just that putting music in my iPod is much better than trying to copy files into my N810.

Thanks to someone on the YakYak forum I’ve just bought a second hand 16GB iPod Touch :) It’ll arrive by tomorrow!

I’ve just done a mad run to the local Maplin to buy some new SCART leads and a switchbox for my TV, and a 3.5 inch floppy disk cleaner – there were two left in the shop.

And now my floppy drives work – even one that managed to wear a scratch right through a floppy disk last time I used it! All my diskdrives are going to get a clean now, some of these machines must have 20 years worth of grime and crap in them.
