• Oh boy, I think my next few statements aren't gonna be taken very well....
  
  Not defending The Woz, but Apple has a track history of abandoning its patrons. From the get go, It unceremoniously dropped the Apple II line of computers despite a very loyal customer base at the time. This is partially understand but their customer service 20 years ago made it very clear. Apple II users were no longer its concern. I see this happening again over and over. The I=Pod is now likely to die off in favour of the I-Touch and I-Phone. I can see the day when Apple will eventually kill off the I-Pod line and simply tell those customers its time to upgrade. Here's a scary thought (and completely theoretical): one day your update of the I-Tunes software will simply say 'upgrade not possible, device not supported'. Then you'll call customer support (good luck there too), and they'll tell you that you can't access the i-tunes store without the latest software. But that's theoretical only. Or is it? Remember one thing, you don't own the software or the device, you lease the rights to use it. In reply to: "iPod dying? It's already dead"
