iPod Blues ...

Went to the apple store about my iPod today, and found out that it was totally hosed. They told me that the some component had failed on the iPod and since Apple didn't have a policy to repair iPods the only option was to replace it. And since it was out of warranty (expired Feb 2005) I had to pay about 268 for like equivalent or $299 for a 20 GB color iPod.

... Not sure if I I should be depressed or pissed.
