Awesome. I feel like I'm connecting with long lost brothers or something.

I get asked at least 3 or 4 times a month similar stuff about why on earth do I collect or tweak, or buy the stuff I do, or even why I'm still using it! That was when I brought in my G1 Scroll Wheel 10G ipod.. IT works great, sounds MUCH better than my wife's 2g ipod touch, and just "because!!!!!"

Actually there's a reason why the older G1 and G2 Ipods sound better. Thank you Mr Jobs and your middle aged hearing range.
