Atta boy Wayne.
Congratulations! This place wouldn't be near as much fun if you weren't here.

Your prize is proceeding to square one and having to answer all questions concerning the audibility of 128kbs Vs. 320kbs MP3s.
Hey, are you the first to hit 10,000?

Ya, no kidding, man! You'll be catching me and zipping right on the top of the list in no time! You just joined Head-Fi about what? A month ago?

I'm sorry to learn of the passing of your grandfather. If you've been close with him, I'm sure you'll carry a part of him in your memories for a long, long time. The toothpick event that I relayed happened in or around 1975, and I remember it like it was... well, not exactly yesterday... but I do still remember it.
In fact, 3 of my 4 grandparents died in the 70s. My maternal grandmother, however, lived until nearly 95 and just passed away 4 years ago. You don't even want to get me going with stories about her! I'd say, "Hey, grandma, do you want to go to the mall?" She would then ask, "Whatever for?" Then I'd say, "You know... to scout things out." She would then start laughing out of control, and then tell me, "Wayne, for the last time, I don't sell drugs to kids! Not at the mall. Not anywhere. It's not funny!" But by then she would be laughing so hard that tears would come to her eyes.

That's too funny! Where do you come up with all of these pics? I've noticed that you have a knack for finding the right ones. "I've got a great marketing idea." "Oh ya, what is it this time, Johnson?" "It's called the Gingerbread Man voodoo doll toothpick holder. It will sell millions and we'll all be rich!"

Hopefully, I'll still be around! I don't mean around Head-Fi, you know. I mean, just around! It took over 6 years to get this far, and I don't think my posting rate has ever changed significantly. About 4 to 5 per day according to the stats. So you'll just have to wait until 2015 to see what I come up with next.

Oddly enough, I couldn't answer those kinds of questions to save my life! Ask tyrion and NightWoundsTime. I had my first iPod for 8 months before I talked Mike into loading it up for me. To this day, I don't know how to do it myself. That one got stolen, then immediately replaced, and then it sat around for several months before Matt loaded it up with some of his music.
As for the 10,000 question, nope, I'm not first. Not by a long shot! See here: Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - Members List It's kind of amusing/refreshing that you've been around for so long and hadn't noticed anyone else with a higher post count than me.

Neither did I, come to think of it. Maybe some blue, or red or green, but that was kind of like getting a 3rd place (yellow) ribbon at the Pinewood Derby (a Cub Scouts thing) which didn't mean a whole lot given that the races were run in groups of three!

One of those tight wad airlines that I fly is always trying to sell me some earbuds for $2. I'll have to try them next time and report back. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with headphones costing less than $1k. You'll have to ask one of our junior (4 digit post count) members that kind of question! He he...
