Things of Beauty

Finally received my iPod today. Boy, was it worth the wait. As a long time PC user, while I may not have always being a groupie for Apple software, I have to admit that they can straight up engineer kick-ass, knock-out hardware. This whole iPod "experience" just rocks. Everything is simply marvelous: the meticulous packaging (complete with a "don't steal music" sticker on the unit, removable of course), the logical UI layout, the tiny size and light weight, the super handy back light, the splashy white/silver color scheme, etc. This machine is the embodiment of elegance in simplicity. Now if only Apple could ship something better than the bloated piece of shit Creative Mediacenter software for the PC users out there. Oh well, ePhod seems to work pretty well so far.
