Sad day for Electronics
It was my day off and I gotta tell ya, it was a hard day.
I got Lindsay an iPod for her birthday about a month ago and I had to bring it back today because Apple apparently makes terrible products that fall apart in just a few weeks… either that or they have very loose specifications on
sound quality. I brought it into the Apple store this morning and they told me to call Apple Care and send it in.
Then I spent most of the day playing Rock Band on the 360 and the other part of the day bugging my friends into playing it online with me. Then at about 4:30 I turned it off and the very next thing I knew the 360 had a blinking ring of red lights! That’s what we call the Red Ring of Death and it means the 360 is down for the count. I contacted Microsoft and they are going to fix it, but I’m going to be without my 360 for about a month…. I hope they are going to comp me a month of xbox live too.
And I was going to start a Rock Band with Adam tonight. And I just got bought some rad songs like El Scorcho and Wonderwall (and Still Alive from Portal is FREE right now, go download it!) Ho hum. I guess it’s not so bad.
On a brighter note I got the Orange Box for my PC, so I’ll be spending lots of time with Portal until I can play Rock Band again.

It’s been a sad electronics YEAR for so far, but I’ve got some big plans tonight so hopefully the curse is over. I bought a new external hard drive and I’ve just backed up my laptop… now I’m going to install Panther (OS 10.5) from a clean install then re-load my older laptop.
BTW, I’m so ashamed I haven’t even tried Portal yet.

Don’t knock Apple for the broken iPod - electronic devices are prone to the occasional error. Apple will replace it faster than you’ll expect and as for your 360, well, you’ll wish that Microsoft was as fast and service oriented as Apple.

So here is my question… If you are unhappy with ipod, then why did you ask me if I wanted one?

I love my iPod, I’m just bummed that the one I got for Lindsay crapped out so quickly.
