Today when I first started playing with my new Valentines iPod, I decided that I hated it. I went into the living room where Jorma was sitting with Connor and said, I think the iPod might have to go back. I just spent 15 minutes trying to set the time and I still don't have it. I couldn't figure out how to work the controls. The instructions say, move thumb around click wheel. So, I was sort of doing that... using the center button like it was a laptop mouse. As a result, I was able to move around the screen, just never to the area that I was trying to get to... frustrating. Turns out that you just have to run your finger literally AROUND the click wheel, not clicking... just touching. It's kinda weird.
Jorma took a stab at it and once he figured out how to steer it, (because he didn't know either at first, HA!) I played with it for a while longer and have now determined, the iPod, is bad-ass. It holds 1.8 GB of music, pictures and games. It plays solitare. It has multiple alarms. It has a calendar. It organizes songs in play lists. It's barely bigger than a credit card. And best of all... it's shiny.
So now conversations between Jorma and myself sound like this:
Jorma: thuum ooo orr kearnmm haa sheseshn
Me: Huh? Removing iPod earbud from ear
Jorma: I said, Thanks for cleaning the kitchen.
Me: Oh you're welcome. Putting the ear phones back in
Jorma: Mumph hirrty
Me: Smiles and nods
