Is it just me, or is it that since the new iPods arrived, my current iPod not only seems suddenly irrevocably scratched but also is crashing with increasing regularity, stalling on track changeovers, sometimes stuttering forwards in 5 second leaps, and often crashing iTunes when connected to my Powerbook?
Is it just me subconsciously beginning to 'justify' buying a new iPod, or would a conspiracy theorist suggest that Apple is engaging in some horrendous sabotage of the existing product base in order to drive new sales?
