wePod


Because I am not really good at sharing technology, I decided to take the money I would have spent on a renewal of my Sirius subscription and buy Maggie an iPod. I found a 20gig Photo on ebay from a reputable company and bid on several of their many auctions. We received it on Friday and Maggie couldn’t be happier with it.

Two bad things though-
1. It looks like the end of Allofmp3.
2. After opening the package I remembered something I read on the seller's website-
Why does it cost this much to ship my item?
Answer: We use a custom Foam-in-Place packing system. It is state of the art and is not cheap to use, but helps insure that your product arrives undamaged.

Now the item is fine and we have no complaints, but here is a picture of the “state of the art”, “foam-in-place” shipping method that some of our $19.95 went to.

Nope...looks like allofmp3 really WAS just "down for maintenance."

Yeah, I didn’t buy that at first. There is a lot of talk about it being shut down in the news. I figured that the $5 I had in my account was gone forever. Still can’t download from them though.
