> 1. don¹t get anything more than a year or so old‹-sometimes it¹ll be obsolete
> before we know it if we buy 2-3 year old gear.
> 2. check apple.com for their retail store corner, then search for specials on
> refurbished models or demos‹often very good deals can be found (20-40+% off)
> and often the Œrefurb¹ gear is actually new or in extremely good shape, and
> with full warranty‹functionally new.
> 3. I wouldn¹t, personally, even dream of using a hard drive of less capacity
> than 60-80 GB‹-here, more is more, in my opinion! Get the biggest drive you
> can be happy with. Sometimes you¹ll want to use better resolution/higher
> quality settings which take up more room than meh-sounding mp3s, etc.
> 4. touch is probably the one you want, I¹d guess
> 5. if you can find anything at all that is both god and cheap, please do tell
> the rest of us!

> good luck,
