<p>gosh this thread sure got off topic.</p>

<p>and i realize that it's my fault i killed my ipod, so all i wanted was whether to buy a new one or repair one.</p>

<p>i'm sorry about the lacking money comment, yes i'll go find a job. i just wanted to know if repairing would be cheap enough.</p>

<p>Justinian,</p>

<p>To be fair though, I had my first iPod die once during regular use. The HD went kaboom.</p>

<p>Or well...</p>

23

<p>oh and i'm a she! a girl! </p>

<p>yes</p>

24

<p>Lies! Girls don't exist on the Internet!</p>

<p>"We all know that all girls on the Netzorz are guys, all guys are guys, and little boys are FBI agents."</p>

<p>Those who produce the i-pod electronics are probably laughing at the consumers. The cost to produce an i-pod is what, $10.00; yet the price tag in the upwards of $300.00. Those who created the i-pods will not receive my business, that is for certain!</p>

<p>Justinian, why do you ignore me?</p>

27

<p>Market research firm iSuppli has taken apart the new video-enabled fifth-generation iPod and concluded that the 30GB device, which sells for $299, costs Apple $151 to manufacture—a profit margin of around 50%. “This is in line with what we have seen with other iPod products from Apple,” says iSuppli analyst Chris Crotty.</p>

<p>10 dollars? i think not!</p>

28

<p>I think he meant it cost 10 bucks to put the ipods in boxes.</p>

29

<p>oh really.</p>

<p>that seems kind of high to put it in boxes, don't you think?</p>

30

<p>no, nothing is cheap nowadays. the people putting the ipods in the boxes must have demanded pay raises. (By people i mean robots)</p>

31

<p>oh i suppose. that's interesting.</p>

<p>I think I'm just going to buy a new iPod. But I'll bike to Apple Store next week sometime and check it out.</p>

32

<p>(by robots you mean third-world children)</p>

</p>

<p>thats hilarious!</p>

34

<p>oh so you laugh at me. </p>

<p>that's mean, theripcurl.</p>

<p>the ipod works, just not the sound. and most of the screen doesn't show up. i realize how stupid it sounds.</p>

35

<p>how would it work if the sound doesnt work? isnt that the point of an ipod, to have sound?</p>

36

<p>ah yes, </p>

<p>but i can still play games on it, in spite of the fact that i cannot see most of it. but it's the thought that counts, yes?</p>

what thought?</p>

38

<p>my ipod is quickly dying. it actually completely froze up on me about two days after the warrenty expired. It took hours to get it to work.</p>

39

<p>Apple programmed your ipod to purposely malfunction immediately after the expiration of your warrant. I think a lawsuit is acceptable.</p>

40

<p>the thought of playing games. and music. i can pretend to hear music.</p>

<p>hmm. perhaps i don't need a new ipod, after all.</p>

<p>i'm sorry vegan. that sucks.</p>
