I’m finally upgrading my iPod Shuffle to something with a screen! Yesterday, due to the free shipping and free engraving offered, I ordered from Apple online a Product Red iPod Nano. I’m now incredibly excited about it getting here, even though it’ll surely take a week or more for it to get shipped and arrive. Todd today at lunch told me that Apple will be revealing new updates on Tuesday, so I’m wondering if any iPod updates will be made. If so, since I ordered my Nano so shortly before updates are being announced, I’m thinking Apple would go ahead and exchange my Nano for free, so Todd tells me. I’ll be able to use it at the university’s gym, too, because the new treadmills they put in this semester have a feature where you can plug in your iPod and use the treadmill’s touch screen to change tracks, etc.
My PC enjoys messing with me. I have both Ubuntu and Windows XP installed on it, and they both work fine, though Windows dislikes working for me all the time. A lot of the time when I boot my computer and choose Windows, I get the error “Selected disk does not exist.” At this point I always want to smacka’ bitch, because the disk certainly existed a day before when I last booted Windows! So I’ll boot Ubuntu, and often when I reboot it’ll let me boot Windows. Or sometimes I Ctrl-Alt-Delete and open the BIOS setup screen, exit out without changing anything, and then Windows will boot. Does Windows just hate me? Another lovely problem is that occasionally I won’t even get to the Grub boot screen to choose Windows or Ubuntu, because my computer will just say something about the keyboard being missing or disabled. Riiight… Resetting or turning the computer off and back on often fixes that.

iPods are really great looking. So elegant and slim. I really need to get hold of one sometime.
They’d change it for free?! I didn’t know they would do that.
I bought the dark grey iPod nano a few months ago before the Product Red one came out. I really wish I could have gotten the red one because it’s much sexier than the one I have.
Oooo! Yay for new iPod stuff! Yeah, you would think they would exchange it…I’m sure if you call their customer service you could probably fanangle a free upgrade if anything major has changed. ;D
Last time I saw someone having a problem with Windows picking up a disk, the disk was on the way out. It might be nothing, but if you’ve got any important data on it make sure it’s backed up :)
