Sucidal MP3

To quote one of my all time heros, Homer Simpson from The Simpsons Sings Blues "I rather have bad luck than no luck at all."

Why, you ask, simply I answer, I never had any luck with technology for one reason or another. I bought aq fantastic MP3, a Creative Zen M 60GB about 3 years ago and it was fantastic until it was stolen from work.

I couldn't use a locker because about 96% of lockers were broken and the rrest were being used, so I had to put it in my jacket pock7et. I think I know who did it but without proof........

Anyway, I bought another one for the same price, about £250 and this one I hid in my rugsack everytime I got to work. And tom make sure the screen and the rest of it didn't get scratched and to protected it from being dropped, I put a screen protector and a silicone cover on it.

I had about 1,000 songs on it and about 70 albums on it.

Well, yesterday, as I was trying to leave work, it decided to do a fantastic impression of a lemming jumping off a cliff and committing sucide by jumping of the Information Desk onto the concret floor.

I think I flooded the entire Wolverhampton area with tears, though luckily my phone had a MP3 on it and some music.

Well today, I had to buy a new MP3 player and it's an I-Pod Touch and hopefully this will last longer than any bit of technology I have.

Sigh.

So Met what do you think of your IPOD Touch?

I am about to get one. I will get it free with the purchase of my new computer.

Nah, not me Gatchamarie, as I don't have even bad luck. Wish I had because then there's a chance that it will turn to good luck.

I am very much like that poor unlucky rabbit that gives people it's feet for good luck.

Wish I could give you some! The truth is I could do with some good luck myself though it's in nature that we are more inclined to see the negative than the positive. But, then, when I hear other people's problems I shut my mouth and think how much of an idiot I am to keep pondering on things that sometimes are insignificant compared to others'. Just to share one story, exactly one year and one week after I bought my new car (which I tried to keep immaculate!), a van smashed it literally against the wall as it was parked in a frequently used car park until I finished from work! From then on things kept on happening one after the other (very good things happened also in the meantime to be honest!)

Ahhh the MP3 players and their suicidal tendencies.

Met, I tell you that your iPod Touch will survive such nastiness. I have had mine for about 12 months now, and it has survived Joshua, drops onto tiled flooring, submersion into a beer cooler and a really really wet day on the golf course.

In fact, the iPod techs once told me when I was having problems with the original iPod video to drop it on the floor. I asked him if he was joking and he told me to go ahead and do it -- So I did... and I tell you, it started working perfectly!

Strange, but ... *phew*

Good luck and have heaps of fun with the touch. I love mine and don't think I could survive without it on the bus!!

The only weak part of it, that I've noticed, is the recharging cable. The USB part of it has a tendency to lose its casing ... bugger ... but it snaps back together okay...
