Whoa! Alex makes a statement that he wouldn't buy an iPod because
you have to send it in to change the battery and you and Bob go ballistic.
There is some stupidity here and it's not Alex.

Perhaps that's because Alex's statement is incorrect, as the batteries
are replaceable by the user (and do not necessarily need to be sent in
for this). This has been made amply clear on this thread over the last
week.
