I was on the bus to Ben's place for the weekend with my laptop today. I started off watching a couple episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond Season One, during which a guy sat next to me plugged into his MP3 player. In Taiwan at least (not sure about the situation in Canada now), it seems like everyone has an MP3 player. There are at least 50 different makes and models at electronics stores, if not more. A lot of the makers are Taiwanese companies, some small some large. Even so, the iPod series of players are still amongst the most popular.

So after finishing up with ELR, I decided to close my eyes for a bit and listen to some classical music. So, I used MY MP3 player. I opened Windows Media Player, queued up a bunch of MP3s, closed my laptop and held it at my side. I chuckled to myself at the thought of my oversized MP3 player in comparison to the guy-next-to-me's tampon-sized MP3 player.

Welcome to the 21st Century.
