Anyway, I’ve been having troubles with my iPod recently; I was only getting sound out of one side of the headphones. I had thought that it was a headphone problem but after replacing them at least 3 times in the last 6 months, I figured it must be the iPod itself. This evening I went to the new Apple Store at the Cherry Hill Mall to see if I could get it repaired. Obviously it would be some sort of short that needed fixing or headphone contacts that needed realigning. Real simple.
Well they didn’t fix it there, but if I went on line and googled iPod repair, I could find someone who might fix it for about $50 to $75. Or the store could replace it with a similar model, which they don’t even make any more for $120. My third choice was to trade in the iPod Classic I had and upgrade to something else with 10% off. I turned and looked at what they had in the store and I actually felt my nipples start to harden. I was surrounded by that sweet smell of new technology and I couldn’t resist.
So the iTouch is being charged and I’m sitting back figuring I will have about $180 which I will buy a money order with and send it to my cousin courtesy of Chet from a previous post. I would send a check but the bitch used to steal from me when we were younger. I doubt that he’s changed since. But I’m happy, at least for today knowing that I’ve done my part for the economy by purchasing parts that were made in China and assembled in Mexico. I’ve helped with global warming by purchasing a leather case for iTouch and thereby preventing another cow by belching and farting methane gas into the atmosphere. And I know that George is still in the White House.
It brings a tear to the eye.
your sarcasm kills me! but only one tear comes to the eye? I have quite a few...
ReplyDeleteFuzzy - Only 1 tear comes because I can't afford to lose any more. You know living in NJ, apart from the occasional floods by Wayne and other North Jersey cities, the rest of us have to conserve our water for the mini droughts that we have.
ReplyDeleteLOL - hilarious. But um...that ipod touch is HOT. I've had one since christmas and it's the best gift I've ever received.
ReplyDeleteDarius - Is it just my imagination or is that thing just the sweetest thing ever. I'm just having trouble setting up the wi-fi at home using Verizon Fios. I think I hate Verizon.
ReplyDeleteman u good thats 6 boxes of rib eyes lol
ReplyDeleteT - Are you telling me that you would even think about spending $600 on rib-eye? Actually I would, but with my family history I don't feel like making the cardiologist rich again.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your touch! I just discovered your blog...very cool. I added it to my blogroll.
ReplyDeletewow...deeply amusing. I like you
ReplyDeleteYep, you've done your part. Now I can sleep peacefully at night. I unfortunately will have to spend my tax stimulus check on a new windshield for my car. A 8 inch metal bolt came crashing in on it while I was driving on the freeway. So, no trip to Neiman's for me.
ReplyDeleteDon't let me find out that you are a Tech Geek. LOL!
ReplyDeleteNice Blog. Very Nice
ReplyDeletePhotogreg - Glad you droppd by and left a note. It's always good to hear from people, it gives me an idea of whether or not I really have something to say or if it's just the ramblings of a lunatic as friends have told me.
ReplyDeleteI shall be sure to drop by your blog and also add you to my blogroll.

Unfortuanetly I can't tell you when you are going to get another Bush Administration Economy Bailout Check again, hopefully not in my lifetime, but at least your safe and the money that you get is going towards something that you need.
