talk to me about iPods

[rm]

I had a generation 3 silver chiclet before the theft.

I loved it. It was light, but I could still feel if I had it or not, and it didn't have a touch screen (I hate fucking touch screens).

The chiclet no longer exists, having been replaced by some little tiny touchscreen thing that I find confusing. The shuffle is a no go. I hate the iTouch (and dude, if I'm going to go there, I'd get an iPhone which doesn't work on my carrier). So do I need to go with the Classic? Is there any benefit to ordering an old chiclet and a slightly reduced cost.

I feel like I get so much more bang for the buck with the new models, eventhough they are all bigger and heavier than I want or have the scary touch screen factor.

Weigh in?

True about the hard drives in the Classics. If you drop it and break the hard drive, it's all over. Plus anything you had on it is gone, if it's not properly synced with iTunes.

Learned this the hard way--not with an iPod, but an mp3 player. "It'll hold my entire library, though!" Yeah, until it hit a tile floor one night at work. Tragic.
