no wait. these two fucking morons didn't realize that you COULD have just gotten a 3rd party aftermarket battery for around 30 dollars, opened up the ipod, and put in a new battery yourself in 5 minutes. these batteries were available when these guys acted like babies and cried all over nyc. you just had to do a little poking around to find the battery stores that carried it. their argument is like complaining that the Toyota dealership is going to charge you almost two times what a smaller mechanic shop would charge you to change your timing belt on your Celica. the OEM will always charge more for labor and parts in any industry. so stop whining and buy aftermarket parts. -kiya --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
