nano

My assigned trainer at the Y has been upping the aerobic time in my exercise program.  Now anything more than 10 min of moving but going nowhere is annoying, so I decided to get an ipod nano to listen to audiobooks while on the exercise machines.  There's now an Apple store at Northpark Center.  I brought my nano home in its transparent plastic box.  Couldn't get it open. Then I discovered it was sealed by plastic tape the same shade of transparent as the box.  Once the box was open I couldn't get the device out of its plastic clip that held it in place in the box.  I think, "I haven't even gotten to the technologically challenged part yet."  The owner's manual consists of about a dozen pages, mostly pictures.  That's the way they write owners manuals now.  They know my children's generation will already know what to do by intuition; why waste paper?  I really like using it.  It's just so much work getting it going.

Omg mom I am CRYING laughing right now!!! This is why you should write more!

Dad, if you can't even get into the nano case you're not doing a very good job of proving you're as nerdy as the rest of us. However you did buy one, so that's a step. But you left out the color!!
