iPod users: mostly snobs. I bought a 2nd gen iPod three years ago, and am proud to say I was one of the first. But I’m almost embarrassed to pull it out today – and I hate when kids walk around with the buds in. I replaced my headphones awhile back, but my sony’s broke, so I’m back to the earbuds.
Indeed, so devoted are iPod owners to this cultivation of appearance that they’ve refused to replace the white earbuds with anonymous black ones, even when police recently began warning people that muggers were explicitly targetting the white ones. They’d rather risk having their iPod stolen than miss a chance to impress the proles.
And as for songs on my iPod? 3846 (It’s just a 20gig, 500MB left).
