It was overpriced and underpowered to begin with. Only months after releasing ver. 1.0, when they discontinued the 4 GB version and lowered the 8 GB version by $200, Apple only offered the $100 *store credit* after taking considerable heat from shafted early adopters. I'd be pissed too. > It's the price you pay for being on the leading/bleeding edge of tech. Or for laying roses on the hood of the Glorious Leader's Rolls-Royce as he drives by. Smart(er) people waited for a better deal, rather than blowing their poker face and diving at the 1st offer. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
