iLike iPod

I honestly think Apple used me as their target audience when they first designed the iPod. Ok, it's true. I did get a brand new iPod Classic for $100 (you'd expect to pay $250!). I've had quite an extreme relationship with these little devices. Here's my history with the iPod....

+March 2001: I first started using iTunes. I instantly fell in love with the ap and started importing all my CDs.

+March 2002: I bought a 10gb iPod and used it for 4 years! No problems.

+April 2002: A week later, someone gave me their used 5gb iPod. Since they didn't know I had just bought one, I gave it to Gabe.

+May 2006: That same person gave me another iPod! I used that 20gb model for a week.

+June 2006: A week later, that same person decided to instead buy me a brand new 30gb Black Video iPod! I gave the other 20gb model to someone else who could use it.

+July 2006: I sold my 10gb iPod on Craigslist. The buyer couldn't make it work and demanded his money back with threatening emails. I gave in.

+May 2007: After 11 months of daily use, the audio stopped flowing out of my Video iPod.

+June 2007: Thanks to Apple's warranty program, I received a free replacement Video iPod.

+July 2007: That iPod was stolen from my car while I was buying a cup of jo.

+July 2007: Angela immediately loans me her 20gb iPod so that I can maintain a normal life.

+Sept 2007: I finally ordered an older iPod on a closeout deal for $100.

+Oct 2007: Apple emails me to tell me that they ran out of the old ones, so they'd just have to send me a brand new iPod Classic.
