Tony's new toy..

I got a new toy last weekend. A sparkly new Apple iBook. I've been playing with it for a week now and love it. OSX rocks. I've been able to install and run some of my favorite Linux tools on it also. It has been running rock-solid the whole time. My only real gripe is the lack of a second(and possibly a thrid) mouse button. Yeah, I know pressing 'Crtl' and clicking does the same thing, it's just a pain. I also got an Airport card to go with it and a wireless router for home. Now I can sit anywhere in the house and work on it, even way out in the back yard in my son's treehouse.
It talks real nice with my 20GB iPod that I got as a gift a few weeks ago. iTunes makes loading music to it a snap. I've loaded all my music to it and am only using 7GB of space. I need more music I guess. Anybody got any suggestions on good bands? I listen to everything for Louis Armstrong to Barenaked Ladies to Eminem. If it's a decent band I'll give it a listen.
