Modern Technology

Follow-up to iPod, therefore I am from Words on t'internet

So…... I've packaged my iPod up and just called UPS so they can come and collect it, needless to say the miracle that occured when I knocked it off my desk didn't last long and the same old problems occured once more (failure to play music or randomly skips tracks etc etc)

I've come to the conclusion that the hard-drive is fooked so a word of advise, buy some kind of protective cover for your iPod if you don't already have one or failing that just don't ever drop it because more than likely the cause of my fault

Now all that's left is to see exactly how incompetent apple are at services and repairs :D

What will Santa bring you this year?

So it's that time of year again, christmas lists are demanded by every living relative so that they can all get you exactly the same gift. The major problem this year is that I don't know what I want, christmas tends to be a big thing in my family because everyone gets together in one place at the same time and we actually all get along :D although we see quite a bit of each other throughout the year it's nice to sit down with the whole family, aunts grandparents etc with assorted boyfriends and offspring and have a meal and catch up.

Anyway back to my problem, I want something that I can use to play music without having to turn on my computer, and seeing as I have a temporarily working iPod I thought why not invest in some iPod speakers, Bose do a really cool set as do Altec Lansing but what I could do with is a new set of computer speakers, these (however good they may be) are knocking on a bit and can be a bit hit and miss as to whether they work and I'd love to replace them so I don't know what to get, any ideas? SoundDock or new speakers? (they'd more than likely be 2.1 seeing as I don't need 5.1 and £100 quid is about right although I'd put up for some Bose iPod ones :D)
