well this is what i'm getting tonight. And on an odd side note, i was going to write the first line you wrote verbatim. I actually thought it was me who wrote it and i was wigging out.

I have the 40GB and I love it. I got it for like 1/3 off at www.crutchfield.com around this time last year. You might want to check it out - they have lots of good end-of-year sales.
