My iPod stopped working, and according to the guys at Techserve, it is not repairable. It is no longer under warranty.

Options as for what do do with my new $300 paperweight are:

1. Chuck it at someone I don't like.
2. Chuck it through the window of someone I don't like.
3. Sell it on eBay for parts for $50.
4. Pay Crimson to eat it.
5. Turn it into some sort of modern art.
6. Play a terrible joke on someone where I take their iPod and then smash a decoy (mine) on the floor.

Pick one or fill in your own.

4 or 6 would are definitely the best options, provided you video tape and post the results.

Slather it with mayo and butter, stick it on a bun, with lots of cheese and eight strips of double thick bacon and offer it to Ipodkid for lunch.

I'm assuming you've tried going to an apple store and trying to return it anyway?

would that work? I know Apple can tell by the serial number when and where it was sold.

I was also thinking about doing a return switch at Costco, since they take back anything.

if the hard drive isn't dead that should be easily resold to people with mini-laptops, lots of them use 1.8" hard drives

The hard drive has head-crashed.

Worth a try, all reports are that apple has been v. good about replacing these things. 'CAUSE THEY BREAK ALL THE [censored] TIME.

(mine has broken and magically came back to life this week).

1,000. I'll eat the ipod. We have to find some way to make the glass safe to eat.

Edit: Joke BTW
