say it ain't so. Not Derek

I broke down on Sunday too. Club Mac <http://www.clubmac.com> has HP
iPods (refurbished) real cheap - yes, I know that HP is bailing. 20Gb is
$199 and 60Gb is like $269 - I think they sold out of 40Gb.

Over the weekend they also ran a 10% off deal which brought the 20Gb
down to $180 and I took the bait.
