DVDs

My DVD collection is even bigger, I now have The O.C. Season 1 and The Shawshank Redemption, thanks to Christmas presents from my family. I'm starting to lose track of which DVDs I own, I seem to have so many. Most are TV shows, but I have loads of films too. I also bought a few more music CDs recently, and got one for Christmas, upping that collection even higher too. One was a single I heard many years ago on a John Peel show, 101cd.com finally got hold of it for me, and... it really wasn't worth the wait or expense. But it does occasionally get stuck in my head, so it's useful to have.
Also got a few other items, but I'm pretty sure (microwave aside) the combined total of all my other presents is probably less than I've spent on myself over the past week. I decided to get a larger memory card for my mobile, bought a serial for WinZip 10 for my new 24/7 machine that acts as a fileserver (even though WinZip 9 serials are dead easy to get hold of/generate), and some headphones for my mobile so I can (hopefully) use the adaptor for my usual headphones. Sure, the iPod Nano looks quite nice, and I already have a 10GB 3rd generation iPod, but who wants to carry two items around at all times? With a 2GB card, I can store a lot of music and just carry one device. The battery life seems to be quite good, I was playing half a dozen songs last night whilst having a bath and the battery didn't appear to drop! If I can get 9 hours talktime, or 14 days standby, I'm pretty sure the battery life will be comparable to (if not better than) an iPod.
