8 Years ago, Apple launched it's first iPod. Cutting edge scroll wheel, could hold 1,000 songs, interfaced with that new software called iTunes running on OS 9, had contacts and calendar integration. Wow, those were heady times!
Up until that point, I'd been using Audion from Panic Software (Great story here) for all my MP3 files. I'd also played around with another music playing program called SoundJam. Then, Apple released it's own music library called iTunes in early 2001. You could easily burn CD's of any digital music you had on your computer (Napster!). Just 9 months later, the iPod was unleashed and I've never looked back.
I still have my first one, and use it hold up a chair in the Dining Room. (Just Kidding!) Actually, after I upgraded (downgraded?) to a Nano, I used it for a few years as an external hard drive. And yes, I still have it and yes, it still works.
