... is sold out pretty much everywhere.

Major online retailers are sold out or say they'll have it in stock within a few weeks. Circuit City customer service said there was one (white, though I wanted black) available 40 minutes from me. But before she could add it to my cart, it was sold.

I found a smaller online site that said they had a limited supply and limited 1 per customer. I ordered the 30gb black and we'll see what happens. Planning on calling them Monday to be sure they have it in inventory.

I went on mininova.org and PQ DVD to Ipod Video Converter. Nice program. Converts DVD and downloaded movie files (Divx, Avi, Mpeg) into Ipod format and retains the widescreen aspect (which I couldn't find in any other program).

I've already converted 3 movies, and I'm gonna throw some of the home movies of my kid and some music she likes on there.

.... and she says I usually put no thought into my gifts.

I think there's one video file you haven't mentioned in that post that's a surefire way to make her Christmas memorable.

Have you checked apple.com? That is where I ordered my last 2 iPods. You have to pay tax but if you go through the education site you can get a student discount which more than covers the tax.

You want to keep a widescreen format on 2 inches of screen?
