Oceans Five

Here’s part 2 of my brother’s mugging story. So after buying himself a used cellphone, his next concern was his favorite music.  The thing about Robert is that he is never seen without earphones on his ears.  This started since he was in high school and became a permanent thing when he got to college.  Everyone in the family is used to the fact that we have to grab his arm to get his attention whenever someone is saying something important. Either that or we yank one earphone out and say what we have to say directly to his ear.

Anyway, the kid adored the iPod touch (fourth generation I think) and he was so happy when the new IOS 5 came out. He immediately downloaded it and bragged about face time and sent me messages incessantly (since I own an iPad).  He spent hours upon hours copying songs and downloading videos onto the device only to lose it to some punk on the street.

Since I was the one who advised him to look for a phone online, I decided to look for a site where I could buy cheap iPods.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that these weren’t used gadgets, just models with lower storage capacity and not the latest generation.  I may not have been able to buy Robert a 4th generation model, but I’m sure he would appreciate the effort.
