My 3rd gen iPod that I purchased in 2003 with the annoying overly-sensitive touch wheel & buttons is still going strong!

I have the old geezer; I should charge it up and take it out for a run - er, maybe make that a gentle walk....

Heh. I vividly remember trashing the announcement in the old DM forum; I was thoroughly disappointed that it was "just an MP3 player" and not something more like a PDA. Those who were around then will remember the mock-ups that flooded the rumor sites; the actual product looked decidedly underwhelming compared to the fakes.

One of my many "that'll flop" predictions that spectacularly didn't come true (I was right about the Cube, though)...

I have the original at home in the Hendrix box. A guy sold it to me a couple months ago for $30.

Just loaded my iPod Photo with new tunes for the road! And, I finally added a few photos to it for the first time ever. The quality of that screen is really pretty crappy.

nice score, pRICE!

i'll post some pix of my stack o' boxes... none have the rock stars, though.

would love to have that Bob Marley box!
