R.I.P. iPod. never again.

Hassle them about it - I got my ipod shipped to Amsterdam and back for free, if you're under warranty its not fair that you should have to pay when Apple Europe don't make you.

Of course, you probably paid a lot more for your iPod in Scotland than we do in the States... is that fair?

In the end, it all seems to even out. (If only!)

Well I am getting nervous about all of these iPods breaking, I am planning on getting the 15 gig...I mean my friend dropped his (landed really hard) and the screen got all messed up, the screen looked like it was a blotch of ink. Apple said they couldn't repair it. Plus, my friend said hers crashes all the time. I still think however after hearing all of this I am still going to get a 15 gig one, I mean, I'd much rather have the iPod on me than the huge case logic where I have to change all of my cds and all of that stuff especialy when I am on bus rides.

I wouldn't get nervous about them, they're quite sturdy. Don't get discouraged by a couple of bad experiences - they happen with every product, even if its a good one.

Case in point: We are a Toyota family. We own 3 excellent Toyotas: an '86 Camry (mine, whee!), an '01 Sienna and an '03 Corolla. None of them has ever had anything major go wrong, and the Camry even has almost 400,000 miles and is going strong.

Now, a guy in one of my classes has had a different experience with Toyota. These normally excellent vehicles failed for him and his family. They had I think a car and a truck, and neither worked properly (I don't remember any details, but I'll ask him). Just goes to show that even the highest quality, most reliable vehicles sometimes encounter problems.

Is it still in warranty? Because I'll send you the $30 via paypal and you can ship back in.

Seriously, how much did you pay for the thing. $200? $300? I think that $30 shipping would be worth the trouble.
