&ldquoAn ipod can hold thousands of song and you can carry it with you wherever it goes&rdquo, I explained to my ten year old nephew, Alex. &ldquoBut why is it called the ipod?&rdquo he asked, still confused. Now that was confusing for me too. Why was an ipod called an ipod? I had never really thought about it that way even though I owned an ipod myself. &ldquowhy is an ipod called the ipod&rdquo I thought. &ldquoYou don&rsquot know&rdquo, Alex said, grinning. &ldquoNo I don&rsquot&rdquo, I replied grinning back, &ldquobut anyway to use an ipod you need to sync your ipod with itunes. Itunes is the software used for the songs in ipod&rdquo &ldquoHow Do I Sync My Ipod With Itunes&rdquo, Alex asked. &ldquoAlex you don&rsquot have an ipod&rdquo, I replied. &ldquoI&rsquoll ask daddy to get me one for my eleventh birthday. It&rsquos just around the corner anyway&rdquoAlex said. &ldquoIt&rsquos not around the corner. It&rsquos six months later&rdquo, I replied, defiantly &ldquoWell, can&rsquot you pretend for me that it is just around the corner. I love listening to music. I&rsquod love to own an ipod and sync it with itunes&rdquo he said, with an imploring expression on his face. &ldquoWhat an actor&rdquo I thought, silently, &ldquoNo Alex, I won&rsquot lie for you. You can save up money and get an ipod on your own.&rdquo I said, aloud. &ldquoIt&rsquoll keep you off the topic of lying to your father for a loooonnggg while&rdquo I thought to myself. &ldquoThat&rsquos ok! I&rsquoll save some money and I&rsquoll get it on my own&rdquo he said, getting off the couch and calling for mommy. &ldquoPhew! Kids these days&hellip&rdquo I thought, resuming the article I was writing before Alex had interrupted me.
