The other day, someone asked me if I had an iPod. I said no. The guy actually said this: "What do you live under a rock"?. I said: "No. I just don't like the iPod. There's better stuff out there".
He says: "What, CD's???"

It's so sad that so many people's knowledge is based on what's marketed to them the most. Poor chaps miss out on all kinds of sh!t because mass marketing hasn't spawned it into existence yet..
I was surprised when I realised my niece thought this way. I didnt realise at the time that anyone thought of all mp3 players as iPods but i've heard it a few times since. My niece is 13 though and she has an iPod so I guess thats not so bad.
