I just bought a new Macbook last week and got a free (with rebate) iPod nano with it.  I also bought a flash drive.  This was gerally happy, but caused a bunch of problems too.  The flash drive I bought didn't work, so I had to return it.  And since I've never had a Mac, there are a lot of things I don't know how to do on it.  Plus my new flash

Yey for MAC. And yes I think you can move files from ipod onto your computer. I'm not sure about the flash drive thing, I shell look into it but do keep in mind there are details thats different for a MAC, people consider them as "WHY DID YOU GET A MAC?!"(such as one button mouse) but its really just a matter of habit.
I own a powerbook, let me know if you need any help :)
I haven't seen taiwaness drama for a long time, but the ones I have seen are fun. Have you heared of "Love Letter"? Its a Japanese movie, one of the best love stories out there (no idea why I brought it up)

When I delete things off my external hard drive using my Mac, I have to drag the item to the trash, then go up under finder and hit empty trash. If I just trash it without emptying the trash, the file will show up again later. Maybe your drive is like that

"Sadly, I don't think you can transfer stuff from an iPod to your computer. When you put the song on the iPod, your computer turns it into the kind of file iPods read."

really? Is it a nano thing? or I remembered this wrong

Yeah, when you import the music with iTunes so you can listen to it with your iPod, it translates it into an iPod-only format. That page describes dragging it to the iPod when you use it as an external hard disk, which doesn't translate it, but it can't be played on the iPod unless you put it on a computer again and use iTunes to put it back on the iPod. I have a 20 gig photos iPod, and the photos that I sync with iTunes can be viewed on my iPod, but I also have hundreds of photos that are just in storage on it. I can't view them on the iPod; I have to put them on a computer first

I have an iPod and iBook, though i use my iPod with windows too. When i first began using mac i got really confused, but i discovered a few quirks that really helped. For example pressing ctrl when i click something, then you get a options menu similar to window's right click... As for the whole trash problem, i know you can fix the way you're deleting stuff in the system preferences somewhere >.> I don't remember right now though. I would look it up, but I'm not using my iBook.
You can use your iPod as a pendrive, any ipod for that matter, really. Although you must access it as a pendrive, and don't use iTunes for filesharing, otherwise the iPod won't let you take it off. I'm not sure you can use it to transfer music between computers, but you can use programs for that... For example, (http : //www.engadget.com / 2004/11 /02/ how-to-get-music-off-your-ipod/). I really recommend this program!
Hope you update TSC soon, it's one of the best stories out there in this fandom!
Good-luck with your new mac :)

oh, wow. I tried going back to the member who had all episodes of Prince who turns into a Frog from 11 and up, but she was suspended! Youtube is becoming stricter and stricter nowadays.

hee, good luck with your writing! I bet we're all anxious to see the next chapter.
