That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That skin is hilarious, Raq.

Am I the only one who still has a working non- click-wheel iPod? No one seems to carry skins for these (and haven't for at least a year).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I still have a 1st generation, 5 gigabyte iPod. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of playtime on it these days. I want to replace it, but I can't because there are a bunch of other big-ticket items that I also want to buy first.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just sold mine. I replaced the battery a few months before, so it was still working well.

It's nice to once again be able to fit my entire music collection on a single iPod. But I'll probably have my 60 Gig iPod filled by the end of the year....

Have you considered replacing the battery? I was surprised at how cheap it was. ($30-something for my 3G iPod.)

I was, but the 5G of space is getting kind of cramped anyway...

Was replacing the battery yourself reasonably ok?

Yeah.

I was confused by their printed instructions but they have videos you can watch - then I saw how simple it was.

There are cheaper places to get batteries from. But this site said that theirs were the best, and that they had the best tools and instructions, so I decided to go with them.

I do! I think I got it only a few months before the click-wheel came out. It's just over 2 years old now. Which isn't/shouldn't be that old!!
