Beyond Binary gets driven around by a gadget hound who would make the folks on the show floor proud. He has 20,000 songs on his iPod, thousands of dollars worth of digital camera gear and a watch that acts as a TV remote control.

Yeah, I think everyone caught that line. 20,000 songs is a lot of music. Assume 15 songs a CD @ $10.00 a CD ~= 13.3K. Sure my numbers are an estimate, so lets say you spent 12K to 17K on music.
Over a 20 year period that means you must have spent
between $600 - $850 a year.

Its possible, but highly unlikely.

You can buy CD's at a pawn shop for 2-3 bucks....easy to amass 20,000 songs at that rate
