Hi all. I just received a 20GB 4th gen (not color) charged it for a couple hrs, then transfered all music. Everything works fine as long as it is connected to Mac or charger but it…

Sigh, I can remember when I could boot off a RAM disk. I had to pare down the system a bit, but did it ever fly. Flash is making strides, but it can never replace our current magn…
