C’est la vie | Kitty.nu

So with the negligence of my husband and my son’s love of dumping things in the cats’ water bowl, my iPod kicked the bucket today.

Sooo… Should I get another iPod 30gb video (which is what I had), or an iPod classic? Aside from the additional space, is there any benefit to having the classic?

Ahh! I’d have a tiny meltdown if that happened, I’m so insanely cheap ( and poor, lol ) that an iPod of any kind is like a house made of pure gold – meaning I’ve never even seen one in real life. Literally, only in pictures and on commercials – but that’s partly due to me living in the middle of Asscrack, Missouri.

Question: Do you ever use the video part? If not, I’d go with whichever is the best space value for your dollar. I know I’d likely use the video, though, but if I had to be entirely honest I’d say that whichever is cheapest would be the one I’d buy.

I know it’s a lot of cash down the drain, and it didn’t happen to me so I don’t have to be mad, but how cute is it that he threw it in the cat bowl? Too… adorable… losing… conciousness…

Hi Faith! Until two and a half years ago, when my mom fronted me the money for the iPod, I never thought I’d see one in real life either! Now we’re a bit better off financially, but we worked our asses off to get this way, lol.

I did use the video part on the iPod, mainly for storing podcasts from PPP, as well as converted movies and episodes of Nip/Tuck. I think the iPod classic can handle video as well. The price difference is about $60, with the iPod video, which is refurbished from Apple, being cheaper.

And yeah, he has been storing a lot of things in the cats’ water bowl lately. I dealt with fishing out sippy cups and pacifiers… but now an IPOD!? I wanted to cry when my husband told me.

Hmm, that’s a tough choice. It all depends on which is worth more to you, the bigger space or the lower cost. Sorry to hear about the loss of your old ipod. I know how frustrating it can be to have electronics ruined in water (during the summer I accidentally washed my old cell phone and ruined it; luckily the SIM card survived)

I was going to say that if you didn’t use the video option then you might as well get the classic. But, I see in your last comment you did use it. If you used it a lot then I would say go with the video but if you rarely use it then go with the classic. :]
