offramp Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 ...but I now have another iPod; a "FrankenPod", if you will. I grafted the motherboard, battery, and sections of the audio output connector from my recently departed 10G iPod that my wife gave me for Christmas of '03 into the case, top, and 30G hard drive of the parts iPod I won on eBay last Saturday. Tears of relief in the operating room when it powered up, crystal clear as day. followed by a massive reformatting. There was a small post-op setback in the contrast levels of the LCD panels when the software was updated to the latest; another emergency reformatting and installation of a previous version of software alleviated the problem only slightly. Patient, however, is breathing cautiously but steadily, and even celebrated the surgery's success by proceeding to consume the ENTIRE iTunes library residing in the hospital's computer. As usual, there's a period of keeping a close eye on things for awhile after a delicate operation such as this, but the physician is optimistic at this point. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

Anifa Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I tapped in here thinking that you needed some sympathy or something like that. Chris has already claimed the name FRANKENPUTER.... like some kind of "MONSTER" he'll sue you if you even come close to using even the "likes" of his assumed name. You can take the man away from his music, but you can't take the music out of the man.

not Cereal Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 did you remember to put the monkeys, rainbows, and other penisness back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 YES! In fact, I did! I left out some of the penises, though...I figure I've been dicked around enough on this adventure already. And some of the union musicians opted not to come back, despite the fact that there's now 20G more room for their egos, and a bigger fake book. I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

Botch.
