Oh, and one other question: do Apple retail locations sell iPod cases from other manufacturers? Say, like the ones from www.agent18.com? Or should I just order one now, and wait very impatiently for it?

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

Yes, although I don't know about that specific one.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

They do, but most Apple stores I've been to have really crappy iPod accessory sections.

I'm not sure Apple retail locations use pens that come from other manufacturers, let alone selling things.

Well, they sell cameras, printers, hard drives, software, speakers, headphones, etc. that they don't make....

Is that the solid plastic one? My Apple store has those, as well as a couple other kinds.

Yep, the solid clear plastic one. Hmmm, I guess I'll have to call the local Apple store.

I have one of those, which I did purchase at the Apple store.

So my dvd player, which is only a year old, has stopped working. I put a disk in, and it sits there and thinks and thinks, and then it spits it out. It's a Philips and I paid about $60 for it. Is it worth trying to get it repaired (no I didn't get the warranty, yes I probably should have), or should I just take it to the electronics recycling center and buy a new one to replace it?

I can't imagine a repair will cost much less than $50. I'd just get a new one.

It's sad how disposable these electronic components have become.
