Rialto Observation Deck is good – but if you're cheap (like me), the lavatories on the 3th floor of the Sofitel Hotel on Collins Street are a free alternative!

Thanks for the tip. I always need to pee, so the lavatories might be the way to go ;)

"1. Your media collection is not larger than the iPod’s storage, at which point choosing which songs to put on the device is a nightmare. That one’s not a problem for many people, so there’s not a ton of room to attack it there.
2. You start running into DRM headaches when buying new iPods or computers, or reinstalling OSes. Or you want to do anything with your music other than put it on an iPod or listen to it in iTunes. This is inevitable. "
1) How is this not a problem with any other MP3 player?
2) Also no different to DRM-infected WMA files. In fact, everyone who bought music from Microsoft's old music store is feeling the ultimate effects of this right now...
Neither of those points are remotely unique to Apple...

I agree with you on 2, that's why I am proposing that MS should ditch DRM entirely. They've made the same mistake as Apple in the past.
On 1 though, any non-ipod is much easier. You just drag folders to it like you would a hard drive. I had to Google how to take care of this in iTunes when I got a nano. It's quite brutal. Eventually I just imported my library into iTunes (the most bloated piece of crap ever written) and then had to make a playlist.
