Jeff's iPod 2004 -2005 R.I.P.

It's been a sad time in the Small household. Last Thursday, my beloved iPod died. It was a fatal hard drive failure. It had been acting weird all day, so I tried to reformat and reinstall the firmware. After that, "Jeff Small's iPod," as it was inscribed, wouldn't play anymore. No more playlists, no more live Phish and Dave shows in the car. I am stuck with Q101 which isn't so bad with their new slacker-oldies format, but nothing like the 20 gigs of customized music I am accustomed to.



Replacement isn't going to happen soon. Cars to fix. Credit cards to pay. Appliances to replace. The iPod ends up low on the priority list. Guess it's off to Target to buy blank CDs.
