...are the biggest pieces of crap on this planet. I got one of these as part of a Telus promotion, and it hasn't worked properly from day 1.

Every time I hook it up to my computer, run iTunes, and try updating my playlist, my computer crashes.

I checked the trouble-shooting guide on Apple's website, and they said to make sure that the software was updated - which I did. Then it said to try resetting the ipod - which I did. Then restore it - check. Then uninstall the software and re-install it. And then to restart my computer.

Then it says to do this 2 or 3 times!! Because, (and I quote); "Sometimes 3 times is the charm!!" Good Lord! What kind of company are they running!?

Anyway, I did all that 5 times since last night, and it is still doing it. I went onto their help forums and discovered that numerous people have had the same issue for months now and no one seems to know how to fix it.

To make a long story short - avoid these things at all cost. Don't even take one for free like I did. The stress of trying to make it work is not worth it!
