get an ipod nano...if your looking for size and space then get it, no point in buying something like 20GB and never using the space...its like a waste of money...and even if it is first gen and something happens to it, you can get it replaced or fixed by apple...plus apple wouldn't make...
why do so many people whine....
if you have really bad handwriting, you can apply for a laptop which is a special provision...i couldve got one if i wanted but i chose to do it by hand...
bad luck on the 55 mins, that would suck :S
