Success!

The local newspaper I've mentioned before called us 8 o'clock this morning. We won an iPod Nano, amongst 34 correct solutions!

This was the fourth week we participated, with the number of correct solutions so far being 17, 27, 46 (that week it was particularly easy) and 34. Thus the probability of winning one iPod has been 1/17 + 16/17 * 1/27 + 16/17 * 26/27 * 1/46 + 16/17 * 26/27 * 45/46 * 1/34 = 14%. I guess we were lucky.

There's one problem, though. All my ripped music is encoded in Vorbis. I definitely don't want to store my data in a proprietary format that Apple is controlling. I'll have to take a look at Rockbox, although it seems the 2nd generation iPod Nano is not supported. Sigh.
