Do not disconnect.

My ipod's been acting up today and won't work properly. It's frustrating. The screen simply says "Do not disconnect." with huge red circle with a line through it. Doesn't matter if I shut down the computer it's attached to or use the "Safely remove device" icon in my system tray...aarrrgh.

So, despite the warning screen and the rather blunt instruction in the manual to the contrary, I disconnected my ipod.

The same screen shines...big red circle with a line through it...Do not disconnect. Something is wrong with my poor little ipod. Ain't technology grand? It'll run out of battery power sometime and maybe that'll help. Tune in for further updates...
