I have an undying hate for all things apple. They remind me of Nintendo, but I like Nintendo. I don't own a mac, but I gotta work with them at school, bleh. Nothing but a fashion trend.
iPods are in no way an exception.
This past week, my Japanese host family from last summer got me an iPod 1gb shuffle for my birthday. The day I recieved it, is the day it decided to just stop working. Apparently a wide spread problem. If they can't create a reliable machine such as this, why should I trust their Macs?
After days of calling apple, and finally a 2 hour session on the phone with 6 different tech support people today, everything is sorted out, and they will be sending a replacement. I am really thinking of just selling it and getting something reliable.
