reached a weak point at you, did I? The brain? Hurts to think about things, does it? To try to imagine 'what the hell is he trying to say?'. Keep spitting around - see where it leads to. Ever heard the word 'creative'? and how about 'cooperative'?

Do you have a URL to the link where I can download the source code for the MacOS GUI? Because some of us are thinking of porting it to NetBSD, but can't find the source tarball.
maybe, but it's certainly not as 'cool' as having the whole shebang, and that's largely (for many people, at least) what having and using an iPod is about.
Mod that shit down as the troll/flamebait it is.
Listening to music is what having and using an iPod is about. The full-size iPods make it easy for most people to have their entire music collection with them anywhere, and the iPod Shuffle provides a very simple way to listen the way a large portion of MP3 listeners like to enjoy their collections: in shuffle mode.
I don't own an iPod to impress you.
I also am not "showing off" when I talk on my cell phone in a public place.
This is just another example of people who don't own a particular useful gadget jealously making the assumption that those who do are simply using them to flaunt their vast wealth. Never mind that you might have spent more on your shoes than they spent on their iPod shuffle.
News flash: None of those people you see on the street with white headphones give a fuck what you think about them. They are too busy enjoying the sound of Stereogram's "Walkie Talkie Man" blasting in their ears to even know that you are there.
