Awesome!  I have just completed putting my entire CD collection on my
iMac and my 30G iPod.  It is awesome!

Speaking of iPods, I'm considering a purchase of a Honda Element.  At
about $22,000 for a loaded utilitarian 4WD vehicle, that I can sort of
camp in when needed, and it comes complete with an MP3 direct connection
into the really nice stock stereo system, it seems like a pretty good
buy.  I considered buying a Beetle, but I like the rear passenger room,
hauling capacity, and camping capacity (Honda accessories include
curtains, screen for sun roof, and rear hatch cabana).  If the new
Microbus was available, I would definitely consider that, but I really
want to buy something new right now.

Has anyone considered the Honda Element?  I've never owned a Honda before.

My '89 Vanagon camper needs new heads, they leak.  I'm not a mechanic,
so I'm looking at two quotes from my mechanic.  One for about $2400 for
new heads and one for about $3800 for a Boston Bob installed.  The
existing engine has 200,000 miles on it.  I may need a new exhaust
system at the same time, if they break or something during the process.

Thanks for any input!  - Duane
