But in the end, my beloved third <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Q9MF-5U-Eis/Rigc9yjTLGI/AAAAAAAAADo/_F79ZnKRRdE/s1600-h/apple_ipod_black_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 254px; height: 286px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Q9MF-5U-Eis/Rigc9yjTLGI/AAAAAAAAADo/_F79ZnKRRdE/s320/apple_ipod_black_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055322429590809698" border="0" /></a>generation 10G officially died. They called it a "junk out" but it's now in iPod heaven. And truthfully I'm a little sad. But I did get a little replacement today that is trying to fill his loss.<br /><br />My initial thoughts were WHERE ARE MY BUTTONS?! I LOVE MY BUTTONS.! But I'm getting past that. I'm also confused that it's all USB connection instead of firewire. Man is it infinitely slower loading. I can't easily get to the back of my computer right now to see if I have a USB 2.0 port. Do you know if I can use my old firewire connector and it not be a problem? <br /><br />I'm also confused that it no longer comes with an adapter to connect it to the wall to recharge versus only having it so you can recharge via a computer. I lost my old one so I was looking forward to having a replacement one. Only I didn't get one, dammit.<br /><br />It's also considerably heavier. But I suppose that happens when you triple the amount of storage available.<br /><br />All of that aside, I'm relieved to finally have an iPod back. With missing a car radio, my iPod and mini speakers have become my savior. It was awfully quiet on those long road trips. Of course, a new car stereo was my first purchase from my tax refund and I bought a darling shuffle in the interim, so we'll see if this iPod really gets the use of the old one. But for free, I don't really care if does or not.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30500365-3916214479456087456?l=monkeymusiconline.blogspot.com'/></div>monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08069321078505135848noreply@blogger.com0
