Hey, hey it’s my birthday! It’s hard to imagine that I’ve been on this crazy world for 27 years. Even more so since I’ve been going through a lot of the photo albums and pictures that I have since I was a youngin’. I’m working towards putting a gallery of images online, but I’ve been trying to get everything organized so that I can figure out what piece of software would be best suited for my needs. Scanning in all of the photos has been quite a chore, but it has also allowed me to look back on my life, the great times spent with family and friends, trips to new places, the blossoming of new relationships, the wedding of a lifetime, and all of the dangerous escapades. OK, not so many of those. 
It’s certainly been quite an adventure for me so far. 
I would like to thank my family and friends for the wonderful gifts and birthday wishes that I’ve received today and during this past week. The greatest gift of all, though, is having so many wonderful and loving people in my life that care for me so deeply.

No, the only accessories listed on the Apple iPod mini site are the earbud headphones, belt clip, and USB 2.0 cable. I’m not really the biggest fan of USB (for reasons similar to what you experienced with your memory stick) so I’m glad my laptop has a firewire port built-in. Plus, faster is better!

The mini doesn’t come with a firewire cable?

I know! I went ahead and ordered it through Apple, and got it personalized. I also purchased the firewire cable, since I’m going to have LOTS of music to transfer.
I’m having Court pickup the Griffin iTrip accessory at CompUSA in Richmond, since they have a 50% off deal on that item, but you have to physically buy it from the store. I’m interested in the iSkin case, but they had a note on their site saying that it wasn’t compatible with the newer version of iTrip. Guess I’ll have to wait on that one…
