R.I.P.

Well, my original 1st-gen Shuffle, purchased in April '06, just passed away. It was working strong right up to the end and electronically is still great, I'm sure. Unfortunately, it was the switch assembly which expired, with little bits of plastic breaking off, the green tab coming loose and gumming things up, etc.
I'll hold onto it, keep it charged, and wait for a replacement slide switch to somehow appear. Would love to get it going again. In the meantime, still have another 1G and a nice little 2G to play with.

IT LIVES!
So after futzing about yesterday afternoon with the Nano and the Shuffle 2G, I found the old Shuffle lying in the bottom of the bag, where it had been left forgotten for the past 4 months or so. Why not? I thought, so just plugged it into the dock.
Blinkety-blinkety, it pops up on the Desktop and in iTunes, empty of course. Why not?, I thought, so loaded it up with podcasts then let it sit and charge.
Light went green pretty quickly, and it's once again working like a champ and still sounding great.
Just freakin' amazin' ...
