RIP iPod…. Long Live the iPod Classic!

Well it happened. The day was finally here. Geek Squad just couldn’t resurrect my well loved and pretty reliable iPod. The defibrillator didn’t work and a 4 week coma commenced which ended in the inevitable flat line. Geek Squad said they truly understood my loss so it was a darn good thing that they had sold me the extended warranty. So with a sly smile, GS boy sent me over to the iPod counter.

As it turns out the warranty I had covered the price paid for my original iPod which was a huge surprise. Prices of iPods have come down just a tad in the last four years. So I let them keep my old friend a 4 year old, 40GB, 3rd Gen Black & White screen model and in return they gave me a brand spanking new 160GB iPod Classic which is color, displays videos and well….. it has an f’ing huge hard drive! Along with the pod I picked out a case and another 3yr warranty for good measure. I think it was a pretty fair trade Well, OK, I made out like a friggin bandit! Now I just need to keep my wife away from it or I may not have it for long
