An iPod is the most worthless, trivial, mind-numbing toy in the marketplace. Does that give you a clue?

Yes. I think I like your explanation the best. As far as music goes I don't listen to anything written after 1791 anyway, that's the year Mozard died.

You don't like music???? I've been around for records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CD's...an iPod has them all beat, hands down!

I think you're the one that needs a clue ther Amos. What doe Andy think about iPods?

As an aside, I've heard that, due to the extremely low distortion level of the digitally produced audio, which prompts users to crank up the volume, that many users have been reporting hearing damage (tinnitus, etc.). Don't know if this is true.

The iPod is just a tool (or toy, if you prefer) that stores and plays music-- how does that make it "worthless, trivial and mind-numbing?"

Sheesh...

Amos, Amos, Amos...

I think you're being a bit harsh about the iPod.

And you're wrong. If you think that the iPod is the most worthless, trivial and mind-numbing toy in the marketplace, you obviously haven't seen commercials for the Pasta Pronta (the amazing new invention that lets you COOK PASTA PERFECTLY!)

The iPod is simply a portable hard drive for the love of Pete. Personally, I find mine pretty handy and enjoyable. I listen to a LOT of books on tape.

Not all iPod users dance around in silhouette (save for a glowing, neon border) listening to pop music.
