Those two functions alone are worth the purchase price of the iPod to me. Coupled with everything else it does and it is quite literally (to me) worth its weight in gold!

I have one that came with the Macbook 13" Pro laptop I bought last week for free. I still haven't decided whether I will keep the computer due to my promise to not buy anything superfluous this month. I don't want to break my promise! I didn't realize the iPod Touch did e-mail.... hmmm, I may need to rethink the return! @ Lee – Ahhh, the iPod Touch. I have one that came with the Macbook 13″ Pro laptop I bought last week for free.

My iPod Touch. This is my first Apple buy, and I'm hooked. It's just so useful. E-Mail, alarm clock, web browser, music for my person and the car, notepad, stock tracker and loads of other things. 2. My slow cooker. I love the fact I can put it on before I leave for work and have wonderful hot food cooked to perfection when I get home! Neither were particularly expensive in the grand scheme of things, and yet do nothing but add to my life.

It's basically free. I also enjoy poker (far from free when up play for money, but luckily for me profitable) but the chip set was only like $30 and will last me for years (already has for over 4 years!). Running is a fairly cheap activity that I enjoy a few times a week pretty much year-round. The library is also a place I get tons of free dvds, cds, and books that keep me busy for hours and hours.

Cost me $150 bucks, and I've had it for 5 years. Takes great macro pictures, and unless i want to make a print out, it costs nothing. My most cherished, and inexpensive item is my digital camera.

Bought a DVD by Rodney Yee, and switch it on at least 3 times a week. DVD cost was $20 bucks and i've had it for a year. Totally worth it! I like to do Yoga in the morning.

They even have computer stations so we can check out your latest posts! :) Up in Tahoe, beautiful hikes are abundant. We try and go on a different trail at least twice a week. And at the summit, we take in the views and take a deep breath. It's beautiful up here. My wife and I really enjoy just going to the public library and reading the newspaper and magazines.
