The history of my iPods.

It started out in 2004, when I decided, after much contemplation to get an iPod. I got the 40 GB one at that time. It was the best model at that time, the 4th Generation. I was preparing to go overseas and wanted all my songs with me. It worked like a charm and lasted me throughout 2005 until 2006 when I had to have it’s battery replaced. Got a different iPod back in return and ear phone jack seems to have problem every so often. It still works, but occasionally is faulty. I live with it.

Got my MacBook from NUS and got my 1st iPod nano black at $16.25 and it was a charm too, for short trips as it only had 1 GB of songs. A week later, they released the 2nd Generation of iPod nano.

Darn! It was the same price.

Today, I got the 2nd Generation iPod nano for free. Well, it’s my mum who won some lucky draw at the country club, but I told her I will exchange mine with hers. haha. I wanted more storage. this had 2 GB compared to my 1 GB only.

Probably have to spend some time loading the 1GB nano with my mum favourite songs then let her use it. If not it would just be left there and gone to waste as she is clueless about what an MP3 was, asking me “How do you put a CD in, it’s so small?” … hmm … it’s a long way more before I can actually explain that CDs are almost a relic these days.

So, here are the iPods:
