iPod sChmipod

I'm a PC, I'm a Mac. You both suck. I have a PC and I run my Nanopod on it. When it works , wonderful. When you need help you are on your own. Magician Steve Jobs either misdirects you to his little mint, the music store or makes you download iPod manuals that are dizzying in length, frustratingly redundant, and which usually result in me hounding some online friend to solve the problem.

I have reinstalled the factory software to 'Doug's iPod', three times today. I have just over 500 songs which took forever to redownload to the pod, three times. Oh, lost all 500 songs twice. You click on the song and it says, 'can't play, original not found'. Not found? You're a computer, find them!. Didn't happen. So I had to delete all those songs that were listed but not really there, track down the originals (which were right where I left them Mr. Jobs), then drag them against their will back to iTunes. And there must be a way to get rid of duplicate tracks quickly and without sweating if you also lost the original.

On a somewhat more cherry note I dicovered the iPod is impervious to the ballpean hammer. Gonna go listen to some tunes by the pool. Love the Pod.

Sliced bread my ass

The greatest invention since the wheel is not the light bulb, it is not nuclear energy nor the computer, not that little project at Kittyhawk, not even the Gutenberg boys' gift to Steven King.

It is without a doubt the anonymous, at least to me, creative genius who came up with air conditioning. I say that as I sit in my lovely town house in 110 degree Las Vegas with a BTU impaired AC unit causing me to wipe pools of sweat off my keyboard. I am off to the pool, a frigid 93, aaah!
