Happy 7th Birthday, iPod

What were you doing 7 years ago today?  I was a senior in college trying to figure out what I would be doing after graduation.  On this day 7 years ago, something else happened.  Something awesome.  Something that would change the world.  Wow, I sound like a total loser!

Anyways, 7 years ago today, the first iPod was introduced.  And to plagiarize myself,

Apple introduced the first iPod. 5 gigs of storage promised 1,000 CD quality songs in your pocket. The Firewire port let you transfer those songs in less than 10 minutes, and it could even double as a portable hard drive. $399 would get you this little marvel (though it didn’t go on sale until November 10th) but you had better have a Mac. Why? Because, the iPod was Mac only.

How many iPods have you had in the last 7 years?
