i have a perfectly-good 3G 30GB iPod. when the 60GB iPod photo came out, i ordered one within minutes of the release on the AppleStore. my wife was highly amused by my having spent nearly $700 (including AppleCare iPod) for another unit; but her amusment was quickly quashed by receiving the "old" iPod. she just loves it, and is always using it at work. the subject of the new iPod has never come up again! just go for it; you'll feel better!
