ianbobmorris@GeriAQuin if you don't want me to keep using my ipod then sell me a new one, i only have so much money @cstross
Charlie Stross@ianbobmorris @GeriAQuin Psst: a 5-10 year old iPhone is a shitty phone but has more storage than the largest iPod Classic, runs Apple Music (when you're near wifi, never mind cellular), and a better DAC. A 6+ or earlier still has a 3.5mm headphone socket: for later ones, a lightning or USB-C adapter is available. The music tech is one of the less-remembered secrets of the iPhone/iPod transition that Apple got so right people forget to complain.

Hmmm... <Moose looks at iPhone> Ah, the current one is a secondhand 7, with no headphone jack. That's a bugger, but shows how little I use it. I shall have to dig out and repair the old 6 if I want to use iTunes on the train. (It got broken by some muppet who got on the train, took the seat opposite, and hurled his bag under the table - damaging the power connector such that it won't charge. A friend donated his 7 with dead battery as a replacement. 3:O)>

As for the rest of the current setup: White MacBook 5.2 with Snow Leopard for eMail (because I like Eudora), 21.5 iMac (mid-2011) for everything else. There's a new iMac (last year) still sitting in its box awaiting the time to set it up and migrate so I can use a modern web browser. I'll get the Round Tuit from the kitchen and do that eventually.
