help with Ipod!!!

[sniperbr0]

hi im an Ipod noob and im a bit lost here, I dont kno where to go to ask for info, so ill post it here:

i just got an Ipod 60gb as a gift, and its an old version, the updater version is 03-23-2005 and it looks like it doesnt support videos, the box doesnt say anything about videos, just songs and photos, I downloaded the latest updater (03-23-2006) which updated my Ipod to 1.2.1 and still I cant find the options to watch videos on it, what do I have to do to be able to watch videos on my Ipod???

also there are plenty of ads saying: "free music for your Ipod" from Itunes, but when i installed itunes the first screen i saw was telling me to buy songs, but arent they supposed to be free for me cuz i have an Ipod???

im a bit lost using itunes, how do I transfer the songs I want to the Ipod??? I added some songs to the library, clicked to convert them to AAC (or something like that) and now what?

can I use my Ipod as a pen drive? my dad has a 10gb HD full of work stuff like documents, can I store all that stuff in the Ipod or only music and photo are allowed???
