Allowing you to post it? Nah, thats OK, I agree with you and I think a lot of people out there feel the same. So you own an original 5GB iPod? Thats something to be proud of. It's like owning an original Sony Walkman or Kodak Brownie... a design classic.
I sometimes wonder if a lot of the newer, younger Apple store staff have any appreciation for the roots of Apple. How many of them have just switched in the last year, I wonder?
Apple's history of innovation is fantastic... First ever personal computer, first ever GUI, first use of a mouse in a mainstream environment, first consumer digital camera (the QuickShot, released 10 years before its time), first webcam (the QuickTime web conferencing camera), first laptop (the powerbook), first PDA (the Newton), first free and usable MP3 library program (I'm not going to count WinAmp, Real or XMMS as neither had any way to get music into the computer). First consumer digital video editing software. Only competitive all-in-one desktop on the market for the last 20 years.
Not to mention the things that Apple and their legendary designers have been doing on the sidelines ... from the HipTop to the Segway to Pixar.
