ipods and quick updates

just wanna say-- love love love ipods and itunes. don't know what i'd do without them. working in silence is the pits. hard to match the inspired design you can come up with when you're tapping your feet to some nice tunes and feeling good.

also must say -- hate hate hate the constant 'instant' updates to new technology that you recently purchased. i bought a 10gb original ipod a long while back and a week later, it was obsolete. people were laughing at my model whenever i pulled it out. i felt like a second class citizen. anyways, besides my bruised ego, it just seems right to wait like 6 months or so to make the newest and greatest update to your product. at least give your recent purchasers the feeling that theyhave the latest and greatest, at least for a month!

sure, it seems like apple knows what it's doing cause they just make bank no matter what they do -- but this humble user feels like he just got played.

well, recently that 10gb quit on me-- that dang battery is dead, and i'm not paying the cost of a new ipod to get a new battery for my inferior, clunky model. why aren't these easier to change out? who knows. and while people are out walking around with these crazy ipod touches and phones and doodads, i am just gonna go right back and get the lowest model. yes, i am miffed at the company, but i will take my new ipod and i will like it. at least for a couple of weeks.
