The King is Dead; Long Live the King!
My iPod caused a stir when I bought it since I hav ebeen long through to be the most hidebound of all my friends. The other night I set it down and when I tried to start it again it clammed up. It had been having problems with the hold switch and so I did a few experiments like a good engineer, but to no avail. It was dead.
My loyalty to this now archaic device lead me to try every means at my disposal (all two of them) to avoid junking it. So I finally took it to the Apple Store to see if they could repair it, and waited around like a father waiting for word on a child with a fever. Eventually the "Mac Genius" came out and threw his hands up in defeat like a surgeon in a soap opera. "There's nothing we could do, Sir, she's dead."
But we could apparently take it from you and "recycle" it, and give you a discount on a new black iPod. Which I promptly took. It is a thing of beauty, though I prefer the old monochrome screens. I'm also upset that they've departed from FireWire as their connector. But I suppose it's something I could get used to.
