today i drove all over orlando looking for a portable firewire drive that is bus-powered. This makes the orlando the 9th city in a row that i've been unable to find one of these suckers. Most of the places i go give me blank looks and the ones that do stock them give me a chuckle and point to the back-order slips. Man oh man, this is really starting to be an ordeal. I could order one online, but i'm not going to be in the same place for more than a day until the middle of june. Bummer.
I got to see the new iPods at CompUSA...they're hot and so small!! Man oh man! I thought about getting one and using that as a hard drive, but that's not really the best idea. I need something that is strictly for storage and it will stay with my computer in the mobil office at all times. If i had an iPod i'd want it on my person at all times, so that's not going to work. I just want to also state that in less than a year, the cost my model iBook has dropped from $1399 to $999. That's okay, i love my iBook and it's a sturdy little road warrior... but for home use, i do have an eye on one of those new 17'' powerbooks with the backlit keyboards...yowza. But instead, i'll be saving my money for rent and bills so that i don't get stressed out in between tours. It's about time i did something halfway responsible. It's just so wonderful, all this new technology, i need i need, i want i want. Oh well. Maybe next year.
