Are you kidding? I have my ENTIRE COLLECTION of music in a box the size of a deck of cards. I tried the MP3 CD thing. It sucks in comparison. And the cost of AA batteries over time is more than the cost of a battery replacement for the iPod.

And yes, a broken iPod is worth more than $100, unless maybe it's an *old* 5GB one (1st gen).

Dell must think people are morons. Oh, wait, people are still using Internet Exploder out there...
