My first time to see the Milky Way was in 1986 while crossing over the mountains north of Málaga.…

I watched the Steve-Note address yesterday. I had anticipated the release of a new iPod. The iPod nano is beautiful. I have already talked to my mother about getting one but I am concerned about its interface. It only seems to support USB.…
