Ive only just bought an ipod touch... and couldnt be happier...
and that was replacing Dans original 1st gen (I think) heffer of an ipod... (which was great to leave at work coz I knew it wouldnt get stolen by the cleaners !)
also have a shuffle... and Ive never had any problems with any.
my laptop is a normal pc.... but after playing with all dans mac stuff... when I upgrade .. Ill be going mac for sure. Also because trying to fuck around with an ipod on a pc is just way to hard !
