Oso, feeling out-of-it because I have no idea what would work in an iPod as I have never used one, the other day i saw a sidekick for the first time when some students popped them out in my class, very interesting devices... I always was a bit of a luddite... learning just enough to stay in the loop.
Speaking of luddites Berry vowed never to use a computer when writing, I wonder if he has stuck to that?
Did you check out the Luis Urrea post below? He's a fellow San Diegan!
