AND I THOUGHT TECHNOLOGY WAS SUPPOSED TO SERVE US?

I decided to jump into the 21st century and get an iPod. It's a lot easier to carry around 1000 songs in my pocket than to lug around 60 CDs on my back.

The iPod is supposed to be easy to use - for me it's been a technological nightmare.

After owning it for less than 24 hours, I managed to somehow set the language to some sort of Chinese dialect. And I couldn't reset it back to English using the instructions on the screen because I was not versed in any Chinese dialect...

Last week, after managing to eventually get most of my CD collection onto my iPod, and trying to copy it onto another iTunes, I managed to erase all 971 songs that I had on the iPod and synchronize it with an iTunes library that had but 1 song on it. Shuffle doesn't work so well with only 1 song on the iPod.

Although, I've since managed to replace all my songs onto my iPod, and am enjoying the wonders of shuffling all 971 songs again, I sometimes wonder if I should just go back to my phonograph.

One place blogosphere is hypocritical: advertising
Remember last year when the blogosphere was up in arms about Marquis ? Oh, if you weren't around back then that company paid bloggers to write about its company.

I-pod's are not difficult to use. There are explicit instructions in the manual about what to do if you change the language setting by accident. Perhaps you are too dumb to own an ipod.
