What did people give away before iPods?

Who knows?

Where would Apple’s business be without surveys and raffles and publicity-grabbing ads (“Visit our store for a chance to win an iPad!”)?

    Hey, don’t bash Apple. They are in my retirement fund. Tripled since I bought it so I like Apple very much…even though we’ve never bought the actual merchandise.

    Erin, your retirement fund can thank me a little tiny bit: I’ve bought a MacBook, an iMac, an Apple monitor, an iPod Touch and an iPhone. There’ll very likely be more in the future, too…

    I’ve bought an iPod Touch, and all the replacement iPods I’ve gotten my wife over the years.

    She’s lost them, broken them and even dropped one in the bathtub.

    Don’t ever lend her your iPod.

    Unless you want to help Erin’s retirement fund.
