I am still taken care of by my family. The reason I am able to afford this is because I depend on my parent. If I were living on my own, I would not be able to get it because I have no job skills. Anyways, here is my review as objectively as possible. I do not always use my iPod. It does not have a radio function. Sometimes, it is nice to hear the radio host talk! I still need human contact. The iPod is just a machine. It stores music, movies, pictures, notes, etcetera for use when needed. However, it is not a replacement for enjoying life the way it is. I say that the age old saying that “Everything In Moderation” is a good method of living life. In my 14th day of use, I have burned out. I am now listening to the radio. I am at peace just using my iPod once in a while. At first, doing my choirs with the iPod on made me happy. Now, I find myself just as happy doing them without. I do have two radios. One clock radio and one shower radio. I think that the iPod is good for when you go on vacations. But you need a charger (either car or wall).Pros: Only for rich folks.Cons: None.
The brilliant click wheel and menus system is amazing!
I am also having trouble with alphabetical order in my new 80 GB IPod classic. There are twelve or fifteen albums that are out of order at the end of my listing. It is really irritating.
