let's paint a picture now / i do not want to forget
mask, restaurant in Tokyo.
Apple made me happy just as I was not happy with them. I recieved a mini ipod for christmas this past year. I am pretty sure it was a first generation. The battery started acting strange about a month or two after I got it. It would randomly stop in the middle of runs, even though it had been charging all night. It was very erractic, so I didn't really do anything about it.
Over the past couple of months it has gotten worse. It was dealable for a while, as I found if I waited ~10 mins and turned it back on, it would come back to life with a half full battery. This would annoy me and I would put calling Apple on my to do list, and then the ipod would be fine for a couple weeks.
The past month it stopped coming back after 10 minutes. In Boston, I finally contacted Apple. Turns out since I past 6 months, i had to pay for shipping and handling ($30) for them to work on it. I was kinda annoyed, but whatever. Fixing the Ipod woes is worth $30. They do send you the box to send the ipod back to them and then they return it. it was quite easy. The hardest part was finding a DHL drop.
Today, on a saturday!, while I was out running, it returned. Well, a new ipod came. I am quite happy. Here's to hoping this is one of the newer generation mini's which much better battery.
Its been a great day so far - warm run, e-mail from mark the rock star, new ipod. Stay tuned, though, fr my rant about chicago police giving me a hard time for talking on my cell phone, but watching people run red lights.
