They repeated over and over that I should take the iPod to Reading to have an authorized retailer check if it's actually broken. Finally, the telephone support person referred me to their website to request another box in which to send it back. While I really like the Mac and iPod interfaces, the sheer unreliability of iPods has me questioning the wisdom of buying one.

The process you describe must occur <I>a priori</I>. To me, it seems like deadlines are not things that move very often once they’re set.

The process you describe must occur a priori.
