The I Shing's Journal: Damn Apple Computer! Curse their bones!

After getting my beloved 10gb iPod for Christmas, I find out that I could've kept it in the box for a week, taken it back to the store, and gotten a 15gb one for the same money!

Aaaarg!

I'm irritated.

I still love my iPod, but it burns me up that Apple waits until after Christmas to unveil their new higher-capacity low-end iPod, right after a zillion people bought the previous model at full price. I'm sure a lot of new 10gb iPod owners are frothing about it right now. Or maybe they aren't. Maybe I'm the only one.

I should have known they'd pull a fast one like this. I should have just kept the iPod in its little black box for a couple of weeks, just to see what would come down the pike. Instead, predictably, I ripped the box open Christmas morning and immediately plugged the iPod into my iMac and watched all the magic happen.
