Ah, yes ... I well remember writing that cover line. We were having quite a debate among the editorial staff, some saying that the iPod was a dog 'cause it had only 5GB of capacity, no EQ, and execrable earbuds, and others saying that although it was, indeed, pretty %$#@ing expensive for its capabilities and capacity compared to the competition of the day, it was a great leap forward in simplicity and usability -- so I hedged our opinion on the cover.

Spirit was crushed; now is fading, But I want to help make things right.
Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.
