Electronic woes
Amplifier is out of tune, heavy distortion on the center and left front speakers. If it fails to submit to reason via vacuuming and general slapping around, it’s time for more extreme measures. This is no fun, especially when the box sometimes happily plays for hours on end without a slightest hint of aural discomfort, whereas on other occasions it mangles even spoken word almost beyond recognition.
iPod battery is fighting a losing battle. Nowadays the charge barely lasts two days worth of walking to work (~one and a half hours, in total) before sloping below the halfway mark. This is not what Apple promised. But fortunately they did promise a worldwide warranty… Just need a short day at work to be able to have a serious chat about getting a replacement battery at a local dealer.
