Yeah, little Mr. Boulton finally bought himself a nice 15gb IPod. Why 15gb you ask? Data and space redundancy. Let me explain this a little more. If you were a 20gb or 40gb IPod and you’re owner never filled you to your complete capacity, how would you feel? Like a waste of space? Like you had been abused in some way or something? Like you’re a waste of resources? Well when I considered buying an IPod I weighed out my options - that the 15gb model was on sale for $399 AU, that I would never use the space, and the fact that with the 15gb model you get a “bonus package”. I was totally drawn in to the fact that it had been reduced down at work - which is something we have never done with the Apple IPod.
So please people, when you’re thinking of buying an IPod, think of the actual IPod and how it would feel to have all of this unused space on it! 
The bonus package I received (well okay, its on raincheck - meaning the stock hasn’t come in yet but when it does come in I get it) contains the TuneCaster thingy to let you play your IPod in your car over the stereo or any other thing with FM reception, I also get a case, as well as this speaker connector thingy.. Did I also forget to mention to you that I also purchased the IPod dock (who can live without one!), and the USB2 connector (as my laptop sadly doesn’t have a firewire port).
I discovered soon after searching around the web that you can use the notes for pretty much everything and anything and people have even designed ‘Sync’ applications to sync things like RSS feeds, google news, the weather, movie times, outlook mail, contacts and practically anything else you need on demand and on hand wherever you are with your new bestest friend, the Apple IPod!

I wonder if Chris Boultons “Target” store is owned by “Dayton/Hudson Corp.” in Minnesota (original target founders). Who knows :P.
Congrats on the new iPod Chris!

Nope, Target Australia has nothing (read: Absolutly nothing) to do with Target in the United States. Target down under is owned by a large corporation “Coles Myer”.
