I love Apple, but ...

2005 was the Year of the Apple for me. In addition to enjoying a relatively new iPod (which I got as a gift in Q4 of 2004), I also made the life-altering switch from PCs to Macs by getting an iBook prior to leaving for Princeton Seminary. However, my iPod didn't make it through the year. Over Christmas I discovered that the hard drive was bust, and it wasn't really worth it to find someone to replace the drive. The Apple store wouldn't replace it because it was "too far" out of warranty. So I'm left without a working iPod and lots of music. It really sucks.
