Dear Dr Aybabtu,
Those iPods are pretty hip, but they are made by, well, you know, Apple. Can a real geek have one and maintain his cred?
Possibly Podding in Pullman
Dear PPnP,
Indeed it's possible, but you've got to bring something to the table. If all you do is download from iTunes and buy skins for your iPod, you'll slip slowly into iWankerdom. In the time it takes to say "Wheee! Look at me I'm Bono!", you'll be shining a flashlight covered in orange cellophane on yourself thrashing about while pretending you're in one of those godforsaken commercials and getting Steve Jobs tatoos. Try getting it to boot Linux or TOPS-20 or something like that. It helps to denegrate iWankers and complain about the construction quality. You could do something as simple as write WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP! or WAFTED FROM SATAN'S BOTTOM with a marks-a-lot on it. That's sure to piss off the iWankers and get a nod from hardcore set.
Good luck, kid.
Dr Aybabtu
