I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm sure that sometime in the near future, either me or the baby will drop it on the floor and it'll shatter into a million pieces; when that happens, I'll switch to something that doesn't have such awful software.

Simple Torture wrote:Nothing wrong with the classic (I love mine), it's just that I know that if it breaks, I can't get a new one (unless I want to pay an eBay markup). My iPod video lasted about 5 years until I dropped it on the kitchen floor and fucked up the hard drive. My newer one (the last model they made) feels less substantial, like it could definitely break apart if I dropped it. I have a case but I take it out when using some speakers, so that's the danger area.
