R.I.P. - May 21st, 2008
Yes...today, my ipod died. I got the dreaded hard drive double click. I couldn't reset my ipod or access disk mode. I have little faith in clicking hard drives, and since my warranty is 6 months expired I decided to take the ipod apart. It's pretty cool stuff inside, but I have no respect. I broke the crap out of the Toshiba drive in it.
This is the worst beginning to summer for me. My phone battery crapped out on me (new one on the way), my ipod just died (probably won't resolve for a while), and my laptop is having video problems which leads me to believe my 7900 Go is being lame and overheating. Hopefully an external laptop fan can resolve that....but with my luck I'm just waiting for it to fail. I'm kind of thinking Vista isn't helping, and I might test install XP to see what happens.
Anyway, I'll probably wait till August to buy a new MP3 player. Most likely an ipod. The best thing is the ipod touch is helping keep the prices down on all the other ipods. The ipod touch is a totally useless piece of crap, so I'll most likely pick up an ipod classic or a nano in August once I make some money. In the mean time, I'll be dragging my POS antique CD player to work....good thing I still have a giant CD collection.
