I’ve owned a couple of iPods.  It was sort of an accident.  I have an aversion to things that are en vogue, so to speak, or at least en vogue to the point of idiocy.  Anyway, to put it in perspective, I’ve had two iPods out of an estimated 30 mp3 players that have passed through my hands.  One thing I do envy iPod users, however, is the bevy of accessories available.  To wit:

That alone is almost enough to make me want to load that iTunes schlock on my system to hog my resources and limit the formats I can play, all within the calming blanket of DRM (I can hardly sleep at night knowing Metallica might not be making money off me).

Anyway, enough iPod bashing.  They’re decent little players if you can live within the restrictions, and most people can.  Anyone who drops $100 on this thing, however, has probably lost their soul to cankers of evil.
