Pollo - no, a backpack isn't a man-purse. It's a rugged piece of equipment that real men carry, tough inside-out, muscle-gear!
I was a deejay back in the late 80s, early 90s. Back then, everybody listened to something called "audio cassettes". They were flimsy, got dirty easily. Poor, hissy audio quality.
Then the record companies started releasing something called a "compact disk". There were rumors when they were new that if you colored the outer edges of a CD with a green marker, the quality would get even better, hah!
I never got into CDs. I was the music director at the radio station, so companies would send me all my music for free. No kidding, I couldn't carry people in the back seat of my car because it was just one gigantic heap of these so-called "audio cassettes".
I didn't sway. I kept on listening to these cassettes until I heard about another format over the internet called em-pee-three. I began downloading all the songs I could.
Today I have more mp3s than I can shake a stick at. So I skipped the CD generation. Now I have DVD-Rs filled with mp3s. Depending on the mood, I'll pile them into my mp3 player and run out the door.
My little cheap mp3 player is either my Onyx ($60 at Kmart, holds about 1000 or so songs), or my Zen ($15, holds about 500 or so songs). They also hold audio books, good or long trips or lonely nights in motels. Both have built-in batteries, which I don't like.
I don't know...I'd have a hard time spending over $150 or so on an .mp3 player. I'd be standing there thinking...yeeesh, I could buy a lot of food for that much! Or I could give that money to someone who needs it! Would I really use it? Or would it be rolling around in my briefcase with my other unused toys?
Anyway - it's Friday and I got some good Christian mp3s to enjoy! Whoo-hoo!!!!
