Happy Birthday to You, iPod!

Apple's iPod turns 5 years old today. It's hard to believe that the little guy has been around for so "long."

More than 67 million of the mp3 players have been sold since their introduction October 23, 2001. Because I got in on one of the first million sold, it's been interesting to see their boom in popularity happen. Now, the term iPod is as commonplace as Walkman, Velcro, or Kleenex.

If you love music and have never owned an iPod, I recommend that you or a loved one get one for you for Christmas, a birthday, or bar mitzvah. They really are handy, fun little devices.
