Hey Rick!  Thank you so much.  This sounds like a good idea and I was told something like this once before, but I'm nervous.  I'm not very good with computers or ipods, especially computers.  One more thing... WHAT ABOUT THE VIDEOS I HAVE ON MY IPOD?  I know this may sound stupid, but I don't know how to back the videos and music up together??? can you help please??  And, you're sure that itunes will let you inport music and video like that?  Any help you can give me would be great!!  Thanks buddy!!!
