It sounds like a horror movie: A beloved friend is callously exterminated, then reincarnated in a different form to wreak havoc on the killer.

I really do enjoy my iPods. I have three: a 30 GB black iPod Video, a 4 GB first-gen nano and a second-gen shuffle. They each have a place in my life as I listen to music almost every chance I get.
