I have never considered myself a "techie", I am not even sure that I know what that really means or can really define it. However, in the past two weeks I have gotten an ibook, an ipod and ipod mini and tend to be spending more time on peoples blogs than looking at espn (in fact, I havent even checked espn today) I also have pulled some late nighters for the last week (6-7 hour sessions) in which I have put 4.8 gig of music on my laptop. I started bragging about how my computer was downloading multiple chapters of audiobook at 30meg a shot, burning music onto the hard drive at about 4.5x and still able to cruise the internet at high speed. Now for a software engineer or someone that i would have categorized a "techie" before might respond with something like "so??!!" but for me this is an interesting change of pace...
