I haven't had any trouble using the external drive feature on my iPod. It seems to work very well, much better than my Belkin FW drive. I have found that the color screen on th…

I am just curious...is it possible to make the font bigger n the ipod or the ipod mini?

I wish they would make the font smaller and put more info on there.

so I am guessing then that there is no way to increase the font size...bummer.

I don't think that's something that can be changed.

I think it is possible to edit the characters that make up the font by editing the firmware. Much more complicated than just choosing a larger font from a menu, though. Doing thi…

hmmm...dunno what it is but something tells me i had better just deal with the small font...lol

The local Best Buy is getting in some 1GB shuffles tonight and I'm going to pick one up for my gf. They sell a 3 year warranty for $9.95. I know people criticize Best Buy for pus…

I don't know bout their warranty's. I have a friend who swears by em....so I would think that $10 is worth it. I have a $25 gift card...looks like I found what to use it on. I'd…

Most of the time, if you have a problem and have the warranty, the retailer won't hassle you about returning it for a working unit. (or repair) For $10, it seems to be a good deal…

This is my take: Insurance (and for-pay warranties) exist because on average, companies make money selling them. They do so by calculating the risk that a customer will make a clai…

The Best Buy warranty (or "Service Plan") is actually really great. At my local Best Buy they tell me "if ANYTHING happens to it, as long as it's in one piece, we'll repair or repl…

Well, I finally got into Best Buy tonight, and all of the 1 GB were sold out. I decided to go ahead and get the $10 warranty. She'll prolly do something to break it and it pays o…

Apple apparently has the capacity to sell more iPods, so it is doing what it has to in order to lower the price per unit. One of the ways to accomplish that is to reduce the number…

I haven't seen any yet. Granted, I live in the wild west, but last year they appeared right on schedule. Is anyone else still not seeing them?

Spotted in Chicago a few days ago.

I got one at the Cleveland Auto Show last night (it was a loser though...the Pepsi cap, not the auto show ), so they're around here. Anyone know if you can tip this batch of bot…

I saw a yellow cap Diet Pepsi this morning on the MBTA. Didn't have the nerve to ask if it was a winner. Wish I had when I saw them throw it in the trash upon exiting the train.

Apparently the caps are the same as last year and you can see if they're winners or not. But obviously I don't know from direct experience yet. Last year my wife would go shoppi…
