ha, boot camp came out 3 weeks back.
Parallels is better. It's like Virtual PC, but isn't shit. Still not full windows, but lets you run the odd xp app without leaving mac os.

Absolutely not
I have spent all morning trying to fix a rubbish gay ipod. Have finally managed to reformat it through Apples updater (losing all my music), but now can't do anything with it because I need my power cable to do a fucking firmware reflash
/rant
Other than that, all's well. You?

plug into a firewire socket
the ipod will reflash from that, at least my old ipod did that
/has video model now
it's a lot fucking easier than updating creative player's firmware

Haven't got firewire on my PC
I'll just have to wait till i get home.
It totally fucked itself yesterday, and I tried all these different solutions from various forums.
The one that eventually worked (enough to get my computer to read it anyway) was to drop it on a hard surface. It worked a treat!

hah
my first ipod (now sold onto a friend) still works fine.
it was a 10gb 3rd gen one (buttons above the wheel), in the time I owned it I had dropped it down the stairs, kicked it across the floor and various other knocks and scrapes.
Sold it to a mate, who cleaned it up (knocked a dent out the casing) and replaced the battery. then in the same day he accidentally dropped it in his pint at the pub. it's nearly 3 years old now and it still works :)

I had mine replaced at the start of january
just before the years warranty expired, due to battery problems. So this one's only about 3 months old, but the replacement warranty is only for 90 days, which has passed. Cunts.
But I was reading up, and i reckon i could change the drive or battery myself if required. Certainly not paying apple for servicing
