I've finally come around... I've decided that I need an iPod and TiVo. I know that I am the only person undert 35 left that doesn't have one or both of these items, but that's all going to change this year.

I was all set to give in to the iPod first but then I saw something on TV about a new Microsoft version coming out called the Zune. Crap! Now do I wait until that comes out and buy the better one or do I just get to it and buy an iPod now?

As for TiVo, I know there are probably a million other DVR options out there now so that's going to take some investigation before purchase. Then again, is a DVR really worthwhile when you only have a 19-inch TV?

I realize that right now all you gadget geeks are cringing and weeping for me. Sorry you had to hear this, but it just had to be said. I'm tired of my lame portable CD player skipping when I run and I'm really tired of missing good shows when I can't be home to watch TV. Something must be done.

Wait a minute... how much is this going to cost me?
