You have to admit though that the writers at least put some thought into
the
plot of this storyline.
Granted, recovering the data from the busted MP3 player might have been a
stretch, and deducing which train track based on the song might have taken
more time than they showed, but using an IPod to transfer data and
programs
is not farfetched. As a professional programmer, I use my IPod to transfer
data files to and from multiple computers on a daily basis. The software
contained in these little things is amazing.
I enjoyed the show and the plot. It showed some imagination on the writers
part, unlike the redundant "someone got killed at a party, and noone saw
what happened" in Miami's recurring plot. From watching Miami, you would
think that it's party city all the time down there.....
