You're close. There was a /. story a while back that showed that a Palm Pilot (at the time the IIIc?) was worth more than its weight in gold. No doubt if one weighed the iPod and compared it to it's price tag the same would be true. ;) Wish I could find one picture floating on the net of a building in slums somewhere that had sattilite dishes on every upper floor. The fence was kicked down, the building hadn't been painted in years and the bare wood underneath was showing, grass might've been in the trash filled yard at one time but, wooohooo, they have 200 channels of mind-numbing crap coming down from outer space! -- Steve C.
