Ha! I'm listening to the Bangles. The freakin' Bangles. I love my iPod. Everyone loves my iPod. Girls love my iPod. Francine thinks "iPod" is a euphemism for, you know, my uh, priapetic equipment. That's OK. My iPod has great power, and makes joyous noises. Look, it's Madonna.

NAZ!
I got the 40gig iPod. the mini is a nice size and weight, but not nearly as much storage. if you only want one for working out, it's still kinda hard to beat an mp3 player with flash storage. the iPod still uses a hard drive - granted, i think it only spins up every 25 minutes or so, which limits the potential for damage, but still... On the other hand, you have a ton of music since you less-than-legally download as much music as an average 5A high school does. Dumping it all onto a 40 or 60 gig iPod gives you not only something to run with, but the ability to take just your whole freakin' music collection to quantico in an easy package. plus, the storage on the flash-memory players is so limited, you have to mess with changing music out a lot more... yeah, get an iPod, or the Dell equivalent...
I will be there in January to see you off...

Julie -
Clearly, you're being punished for drinking Pepsi, since Santa has co-opted by the Coca-Cola-military complex. He's practically been trademarked by them, which is ironic, because they have a mythical, or at least clearly retired, character shilling for "The Real Thing." No wonder we're so conflicted as a society.
Furthermore, Santa is a Windows guy, even though his chubby fingers would be better suited to Mac's single-button mouse. It all goes back to a situation involving him, Steve Jobs, and a dead elf stripper in 1992.
Finally, Santa hates Canadians. Sorry, it's just the way it is.
