Minor iPod heart attack

[thewayne]

I go to lunch, listening to my iPod all the way. Actually listening to my Kraftwerk list most of the way. Have lunch, get back in car, iPod won't turn on. Plug in to power supply. Still won't turn on.

GRRRRR....

Definitely not good since we're going to Phoenix Wednesday evening and I MUST HAVE TUNES!

I decide that the most likely culprit is that it's overheated, even though the temperature isn't much over 90. So I throw it into the fridge at work for a little bit to cool it down.

Still nothing.

Finally I plug it in to my PC at work to charge it for a while.

STILL nothing.

So I break down and go to the Apple web site to figure out how to do a restart on it.

NOW it works.

*sigh*

Replacing it right now would not have been a good thing, so I'm very glad that it decided to return to the land of the living.

WTF happened to the good old-fashioned car stereo system??? Nowadays it's iPod here WiFi there and mobile phone everywhere, and it seems like people don't even notice how dependent they make themselves on nice but unnecessary small technology...

I admit that it's nice to plug the headset into my MotoRazr and watch an episode of whatever series I have stored on my 1GB microSD while riding the train to work, but I can also totally live without that...
