Mayo brand is reliable from what I hear. We were couch shopping several years ago & were sold on the build quality & how other companies skimp on quality parts. For example, most companies use cardboard on their couch arms. Mayo's were more solid built.

I have 2 ipods. The 1st I bought in 2004 to take back to Iraq. It was a 6gb mini. I think those were more rare than the 4gb, or it seemed at the time. My other one is a 100gb chrome back one I bought at a pawn shop. I've replaced the battery but the hard drive went out so I need to fix that next. I like having a separate music player to hold my music when possible so as not to take up space on my cellphone. I forgot I have a tiny clip on shuffle too. It's great for mowing/weedeating. I just run the cord down my shirt & clip it on my waist usually.
