The Big 12

Posted by Paul B | November 8, 2007 .

My daughter turned 12 today, we were going to have a big party bash but instead it’s being saved for next year when she becomes a teenager (nooooo, how did the creep up so quickly?!) What she wanted instead was an iPod Nano….in pink. I hunted high and low for one of these mystical pink iPod Nanos to no avail, in the end we had to settle for the limited edition red one(that looks a bit pink), and even then that had to come straight from the Apple online store, looks like they are holding onto these for themselves.

As a little surpise we also got her a Webcam for her laptop, it seems that when girls reach 11-12 MSN Messenger becomes THE most important thing ever, closely followed by Bebo. All her friends have webcams, I was never that keen on her having one but since ICU came about a lot of that worry has been taken away. Anyway a webcam it was, I managed to pick one up locally which was a miracle in itself. The Isle of Man has quite a “shop local” thing going on at the moment and I try to do my bit but when you can order online cheaper and in five minutes why should you wander around for hours looking for the last Webcam in town? That’ll be a whole new rant one day.

Anyway, today she was 12 and opened her presents. See if you can guess which one got the biggest smile, the cheap surprise webcam or the expensive and asked for iPod? She was a very happy little girl but it was definitely the WebCam that got the biggest cheer. Don’t know why, maybe it was the box size (no kidding when they say nano) or maybe because it was a surprise? What I’ve learnt is that big boxes are cool and big surprise boxes are even better! The new iPod Nano does look cool though, I might have to get one for myself now, although I’ll probably avoid the pink.

    I’ve been debating back and forth about getting the nano (it is pretty snazzy looking). The only that’s stopped me so far is the fear that in less than a year, they’re going to come with a touchscreen nano, and that’ll be the one I REALLY want. :) …unfortunately, haven’t heard any mac rumors about such a thing.
