The End.

For the past few weeks, my trusty iPod (on its second battery, not including an initial AppleCare battery replacement) has again shown signs of aging, mostly by lasting only 15 minutes on a fully-charged battery before dying with a soft sigh of the hard drive. So, this evening I hoped to prolong its life a wee bit longer until I can afford an iPhone (if I still even want one by the time that day comes) by replacing the battery yet one more time. I carefully pried open the massive metal casing and replaced the battery as best I knew how, and then plugged it into the wall to charge. Now, an hour later, it keeps turning on and off rapidly, harddrive whirring and backlight flashing, and even after two resets insists on not powering off. At all.
So, after well over three years of dutiful service, I think it might be time to retire Wild Animus the 30 gig iPod, who has been my friend through thick and thin, through study sessions and roadtrips, through train and bus commutes galore, and place this aged unit on a shelf of retirement. It shall sit there with all the pomp and circumstance that a little box with a harddrive in it possibly can.

So...I guess I'm in the market for a new iPod.

Perhaps I shall name it...Junior.
