Terminator 3 was right…
July 12th, 2007 by Greg…You can’t change the inevitable. No matter how hard you try, the future can not be altered, and you can not save the world from Skynet. Or in this case, Apple. Against my better judgement, and tearing asunder every fiber of my being, I have created an iTunes account and will be purchasing an iPod on the morrow. My soul weeps, but it can’t be avoided. Since my iRiver was stolen I’ve searched high and low for a comparable mp3 player that isn’t discontinued or sucktastic, but Apple has seemed to send most of its hard drive player competition running for the hills. Almost everything over 10gb has simply lost its spirit and stopped treading water, content to be thrashed against the rocks of the eternal shore, so now I am forced to come a-knockin’ on iPod’s skull doorknocker, hat in hand, in search for musical sustenance. Not even my nigh-impenetrable wall of spite could hold back my need for a personal player with robust software and non-defunct parts.
Damn your black heart, Apple, for making yourself so OMNIPRESENT that it is now physically impossible to escape you. Damn your superior software, damn your click wheel’s friendly interface, and DAMN YOUR EYES!!! I hate you forever, die in a fire, here’s my money, thanks for the 36 free downloads.

Free downloads? I didn’t get no free downloads. F’ing apple. Hey, wanna buy MY iPod btw? I need to upgrade to a larger one soon anyway. *wink wink nudge nudge*

I got 36 free downloads for going to Bonnaroo, it wasn’t Apple showing me favoritism, although that would be expected since I am so iAwesome. And I might be interested in buying your iPod off you if you could offer me both a delicious price and a 90-day money back guarantee, because I don’t trust you as far as I could throw you sir, which would be about 3 yards, depending on if you curled up in a ball and I got a good spin going first.

Actually, it DOES have a full warranty on it thanks to the best girlfriend ever. So, throwing me may not be necessary. Fun… but not necessary.

Greg, how could you? An iPod? Whatever was wrong with Phillips stuff? The GoGear works rather lovely.
