The rest of my life

My ipod was dead for several days. It had a sad face on the screen and all of my attempts to charge, use, connect, restore, or even reboot into disk mode were failures. Apple's support site told me that it was in need of service repair, and since I don't have any warranty services or whatever, it would cost a pretty penny to fix.

My Dad tried to pry it open with his keys, figuring "hey, if it's broken, we might as well open it up and have a look." He was likewise unsuccessful.

Then, all of a sudden, while trying to wrestle it open, it turned on and it was running in normal mode! It's working now, but I don't trust it... we'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks.

If my ipod really ends up failing on me, I was be completely music-less in my travels, since my car stereo was ripped off about 6 months ago...
