iGot a pocket full of kryptonite

[cyrano]

I am learning the mysteries of the iThing. EarthPig very thoughtfully loaned me his, and I'm finding out things like how to turn it off, or how to use iTunes to put files on the hard drive (my other mp3 player just used 'My Computer'), or how to get iTunes to *see* the iThing and speak to it.

I'm hoping the learning curve is short because I'm tired of feeling like an idiot about something that everybody else in the world already knows and that babies are born with an innate knowledge of.

I actually think the iPod is kinda crummy from a usability perspective. But that's cos I have a hard time with the wheel, and I think the UI, while admittedly getting better, is basically an inadequate hack of the UI developed when people had a couple hundred songs in their library rather than a couple thousand.

I do like the look of the thing though. And I like iTunes, though I haven't used it lately.
