Wheel in the Sky Keeps on Turning

January 23rd, 2004 at 7:58 am · 4 Comments ·

On last night’s The Daily Show, they revealed that democratic candidate Wesley Clark’s all-time favorite album is Journey - Greatest Hits. To me, that’s the very definition of unelectable.

Morning temp: A balmy 37 degrees. Almost shorts weather.
iPod: Died again.

Latre.

    iPod died? What were the symptoms?

    Locked up while jogging. Reset caused it to go into the Apple Logo Always Displayed mode. Further resets while plugged into the wall/AC adapter didn’t change anything. Finally had to go into Disk Mode and then reset again, which fixed it. This kind of thing has been happening a lot lately. I’m going to try one more 2.1 software restore and if that doesn’t help, it’s going in for service.

    Before you send it in for service, I suggest you check out what that’s going to cost. Word is that you might as well just buy a new one.

    It’s still under warranty, plus they talked me into the 2 year AppleCare Protection Package last time I called in with a problem, so I won’t have to pay the $30 for shipping (or anything else for that matter). But boy, Apple can sure gouge you 6 ways to Sunday. Phone support after 90 days is $50 a pop, unless you spring for the $60 AppleCare.
