While I’m very tech-savvy, I was bothered by the endless rigamarole required to manage the music software for the tiny thing, keep it charged and otherwise working properly. How ironic that technology meant to serve people’s needs has become a crippling waste of time and money. I’m sure an $80 iPod cost less than $10 to make in China.

Look forward to buying from you again when the time is right. I’d rather have simple beautiful jewelry than all these things that just make life more harried, confusing and frustrating. They take up our time and give us little real worth in return. Other things endure within us much better.
