So I’d thought that my parents were being totally “asian” in that they refused to buy me an iPod (of any sort) or a laptop costing more than $420 (per four years). Then I see an interesting package on the dining room table this afternoon, but I don’t really think about it.
Then, this evening, I find out that it is a pair of iPod Touches (8gb). For my relatives. In China. While I have nothing against giving relatives presents (that’s a good thing…), I do wonder… is there a reason why I don’t get one too?

As God’s consolation prize, I suppose, I found an IBM Thinkpad X41 in the “old computer stuff closet” at my house. With a dock. It’s actually pretty nice, 1.5Ghz and 1.5GB RAM. Plus it’s very small. Veerrryyy small. Like, only a bit bigger than netbook small. And its only 3.2 lbs.

lol, wow. my parents did that, except with the nano? >.> i suppose it’s cali pride. or apple pride. or silicon valley pride. your pick.
