 | Apple iPod 20GB Digital Music MP3 Player - M9282LL/A |
 | "Great, when it works..." | 2007-01-14 |
I managed to get mine working again today after trying some rather unorthodox solutions I found while googling "dead ipod" (These are things I'd only suggest trying if your iPod is headed for the garbage and you have nothing else to lose.) It's been dead for about a year now, after only 8 months or so of light use. I was rather annoyed when it died, but not surprised since this is the second Apple product I've gotten that has been a total lemon (my powerbook is nothing more than a really expensive paperweight because Apple charges an arm and a leg to fix even the simplest of things.) When it works, the iPod has great sound and of course, it's pretty, but it's not meant to take any kind of abuse. Mine was rarely taken out of the house, and it's covered in scratches. One short drop can break them, which I think is ridiculous considering this is supposed to be a portable device. If we danced around with them like they do in the iPod commercials, we'd be replacing ours monthly.
My next MP3 player will not be an Apple anything.

 | Farscape - The Complete Third Season |
 | "I love Farscape as much as anyone..." | 2005-03-20 |
...but who in their frelling mind could afford the season sets?! This is one of those things that will be put on my wish list and may never come off of it - not unless my family and I decide to forgo eating for a month. And while 22 episodes of Farscape would be a great deterrant from the hunger pangs, it would ultimately be a bad idea. It's bad enough that the show was canceled, but to charge that much for the DVD's? That's just not right.
