The original iPod Classic that I had in 2005 and which she has because it didn't have enough memory for me is still going strong. When the 120Gb version appeared a couple of years later I bought one. I used them to transport my music to NZ because 6 months without it all was just too much. Mine died a few weeks ago and of course can't replace it (I'm not even sure whether it can be repaired). Fortunately my phone has 120 Gb of memory so I've been transferring a lot of my music to it. So all of a sudden I can play things on my main speakers through the iPlayer module or the AppleTV module or via bluetooth without using one of the laptops.

I've never had that particular problem but I've been frustrated for a while about some of my own comments being rejected by certain mail-servers - including my own (yahoo). The comments still appear on blogger, I just don't get email copies of my own comments (which doesn't matter much). It's just annoying to receive all those "failure" messages... I think it's something to do with my using a sub-address to my main address for the blog. I just haven't been brave enough yet to look into the possibility of changing that...

The iPod classic I owned was by far the best MP3 player I've ever had (the hard drive eventually died otherwise I'd still be using it), and their main desktop OS seems a lot more intuitive than any of the recent versions of Windows. In all honesty, if I was ever going to buy a complete desktop system (rather than building my own) I'd probably buy a mac.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-25297967568457860572015-03-08T16:34:23.134+00:002015-03-08T16:34:23.134+00:00Mark I take your point about it being overpriced e...Mark I take your point about it being overpriced etc but I find it exceptionally user-friendly (whereas I can't even begin to get to grips with Windows 8) and most of the time it does everything I ask of it including seamlessly updating any data I input on one device to my other devices (i.e. my iPhone, iPad and MacBooks).Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-40577657226943943962015-03-08T16:31:14.696+00:002015-03-08T16:31:14.696+00:00Maybe they've heard about your hospitality !Maybe they've heard about your hospitality !Marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10859972397663662509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-7434665599182417052015-03-08T16:26:45.217+00:002015-03-08T16:26:45.217+00:00Glad it's fixed though.
