Could that be the next case against Apple?
I don't know. Being a hatless hack who's not wearing his hacker's cap tonight, I simply report what I'm told and observe, draw a conclusion or two, and will avoid breaking a musical spell by moving the item to The Orchard.
People having different difficulties with the devices might be helped by a link in the relevant entry to a free copy of 'iPod Annoyances'; but don't thank me for it. I have long been working on my own approach to troubleshooting iPods, which is unfinished. My only contribution is a place where you can fetch the fruit of somebody else's generosity.
Anyway, "does your iPod make you blind?"

Fiona as MachineOn some topics I stand mechanically firm.
Since my telephones have been informed who my family, friends and other vital numbers are, I've stopped answering them when they fail to identify the caller by name or number. Thus those who repeatedly try to bother me and leave no message I would listen to swiftly if they did simply get ignored. This avoids me having to tell "cold call" advertisers who hide their numbers what a horrible job they've got, but better luck next time. If it's urgent, then there's a message.
iPods are also but a means of communication to an end worth having, which for me is always music. What isn't goes elsewhere on the log.
Writing this gives me an excuse -- admittedly pretty poor -- for a picture of the most musical Apple I know. I forget exactly when it went into a big collection of unused snaps and who takes credit, if that's the word. This was one of the more unlikely offerings doing the rounds of the Net along with the illicit release of an early take of that particular album of Fiona's, which caused such a fuss at the time.
