a super cool new iPod with video.What do we think of the video feature? I don't know that I would use it. 'Course I said that about being able to take pictures with my cell phone, so what do I know...

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I won an iPod video in the office H'ween costume contest. I haven't used the video feature all that much yet. I think if I weren't paranoid about flashing an iPod around, I'd probably use that feature more. It'd be nice to have a couple TV episodes stashed on it for times when you're stuck in lines. But around here having an iPod in sight makes you a mugging target. I don't use the earpods with mine. I use my old school headphones and keep the iPod in my neoprene CD player holder.
I keep "Chronic of Narnia" on there because it cracks me the fuck up.

Hmmm, I might wait for a few more people to chime in but the refurbished ones are looking pretty good right now. Well, if mine is really dead. Which I hope it isn't. And not only because I *liked* my playlists and everything that was only there which will make duplicating it will be a bitch.

The iPod video is very thin and light relative to earlier iPods. The display is bright and easy to read. The battery life sucks compared to my earlier iPod. I held onto my 20 GB 4th gen iPod. The new iPods don't have firewire. Although I hadn't had the iPod long enough to learn how to use the feature, you can boot a computer off them. And that's a useful feature for someone who does troubleshooting. So I held onto my old one even though I meant to either sell it or give it to a friend.

Mine is (oh please please please be the proper tense) 3G. Pre-clickwheel even. And the 15G was really enough room. Not for everything I owned but enough for everything I wanted portable.
If I have to replace, the 40G click looks good. The price diff between it and the 20G are small enough that I might as well get the larger.

I don't know that I'd use the video feature either, but the difference between a color screen and the monochrome one I have is huge in terms of visibility, just for reading the names of tracks. Plus, it comes in black.

Well, I hope your current iPod is resuscitated. But if you get a new one I agree that it's worth the extra money for a larger drive.

Woo Hoo!!! You can do it, Nicole!!!
I lasted about an hour and a half at a family party, when my mother suggested I leave before I hurt somebody. Families can be so annoying.

WTF, sj? How would you hurt them? Unless they were so annoying you finally took a crutch to them in intellectual self-defense? In which case, call me, I'll help you hide the bodies.

Because a couple of them were being so obnoxiously prejudiced that I was likely visibly fuming. I just can't stand it. Especially when I hear the words of the older generation coming out of my 17 year old cousin's mouth. He was a very bright, sweet child, and they have essentially ruined him.

Yes, this is what my mother was trying to avoid.
