As I walked to work this morning, I found myself reflecting on the hoards of people around me with iPods, all the while marvelling that mine has somehow survived since Christmas 2004. I mean come on, who else has managed to keep a grey-and-black-screen 20 giger going despite several submersions and cement-ending free falls? Not many, I would guess. So yes, I was proud to be rockin' it ol' school...
Enter the king of all irony. I walk in to work, attempt to power off prior to logging on for another day of corporate bureaucracy, when all of a sudden I hear a clicking sound (what I've since seen referred to on blogs as "the clicking sound of doom"). I looked down at my iPod and saw this sad little guy looking back at me. My co-worker said "just ask for one for your birthday! When is it?" Funny she should ask.
As the celebration of one life's beginning takes place, another iPod succumbs to mediocre engineering. And so goes the circle of life.

2 dead iPods in our family in a month! It's an epidemic. I'm sorry for your loss.
I am convinced Apple designs their IPods to go out after 2 - 2 1/2 years to keep profits up. My IPod that I got for the Christmas of 2004 just went kaput too...
Mandy's that she got at the same time is also a bit on the fritz...
Sorry to hear about the loss... Now you have an excuse to get one of the cool new video IPods.
