ceagleThis is SO weird, it's almost funny!
Some of you may remember my recent resolve (after a lifetime of diggin' macs, before they started breakin' promises), to refrain from buying any NEW Apple products for a while, since my last three Laptops have been complete lemons (last good one was a 400mhz black powerbook I bought from a friend ^V^ ).
- The 500mhz iBook I bought new... bad logic board, Apple unconcerned
- The 667mhz powerbook... screen went bad (but I sure wish I'd fixed it and kept it)
- The 800mhz powerbook... not 'technically' a lemon, but built crippled, unable to support all of its own graphics
And I was jussssssst about to try again, and jump over the edge to the tantalizing iPhone soon. ;>
...and, today my iPod goes kablooie...!!! LOL!! They can't even build those consistently??
I'm not hugely upset because I got it super cheap, but I've only had it a just under two years (that's what this Apple stuff has been doing, crappin' out between 1 and 2 years)... but I don't even jog with it, or haul it around hardly at all!... it pretty much just stays next to my pillow, all comfy there on the downy sheets, in the lap of luxury, with just 55 songs on it!.. and I don't even snore! (so it can't cop a plea about that). And I'm sure I don't gnaw on it, or ask it to jump through hoops. I just wanna hear a few of the 55 songs once in a while as I drift off to sleep... oy!
And what's even *more* silly was that I figured it would be the battery first!.. Lotsa reports talk about the battery goin', so I'd even gotten a $40 spare for when that time came.. and instead it's the Hard Drive! hehheh!!
Egads, Apple... *rolls eyes*..
