Due to some uncontrollable urge of nature, my Apple products die the day I start enviously desiring a technological upgrade.
The new 4GB ipod shuffle is on sale and just as I was checking it out, my classic ipod bailed on me. Dead. With about 30GB of audio. Of course, it's all backed up. On the hard drive that conked out last year. I'd have a panic attack if I was sentimental about my music.
Luckily, the good stuff is on CDs. Maybe I will upload it again on the new ipod that talks.
