Task #18

For christmas my 10 year old really wanted an IPod. Of course I wasn't about to spend 200 dollars on something so little and easily loosable or broken for a 10 year old. So I looked around and decided to start with something a little less expensive and see how he did with it. Then if he took care of it maybe next year or the year after he would get an IPod. Of course by then who knows what kind of new technology they will have out.
So he got his MP3 player for christmas and was very excited. Of course he wanted some songs downloaded on it(which I meant to do before christmas but never got around too). So christmas morning I'm on our computer while they are all in the other room opening and trying out their new games. I had no clue where to start with downloading so I got out the easy start instructional CD. Went through that in no time and easily figured out how to download whole CD's to the MP3 player. He was happy with that for the time so I called it quits for the day. I haven't yet gotten around to trying to download a song from anywhere else. I think that is going to be a little tricker but hopefully can figure out.
I'm really excited about getting my own MP3 player at the end of this challenge. I walk two miles a night(well at least 4-5 times a week)on my treadmill and this will be great to download good songs on to walk too.
