Got me an iPod today, but I think it's dead. I can't get it to do anything, and it doesn't seem to be charging up no matter what I connect it to -- Firewire port on my PowerBook, Firewire port on my PC or the "portable charger" that came with it. Hunh. Presently updating all the firmware/OS/apps on the PB to see if that will help.

OK, got the latest & greatest OS (9.2.2, anyway, 10.1 is coming through the mail but it ain't here yet), firmware and all other assorted stuff that you get through SoftwareUpdate. Let's see . . .

No joy. The thing continues to do a perfect imitation of a brick. Grrrr...

Well, great. There's a known bug, and the fix on their web page involves letting the little marvel sit, unpowered, for 24 hours. I guess I'll find out if that's it tomorrow.

Neutrinos have bad breadth.

Working...
