sailing the fingers of the dragon

All of my iPods have died within a year of purchase. That's life expectancy. Two classics and a Nano.

After that I got a Creative Zen and it lasted nearly two years before dying of natural causes.

Got a Nano, put it in the washing machine, not its fault.

Got a Touch, died within three WEEKS. Replaced under warranty. Currently it's doing okay--I DID buy a case and a screen protector for it (which I change about once a month.) That seems to help it.

It is a perfect, beautiful creature, and I read fic on it every night and get the weather and listen to music and read twitter and surf the web endlessly.

But it comes with a price. I see you've been in the club paying that price a long time. :)

My Palm Centro is also amazing, has lasted twice as long, and is covered in tape to hold it together.
