Drop it like it's pod

So in the midst of a lot of big things going on with me, I've spent a good part of the past two days trying to get that sad face of my iPod. After trying all the different "official" fixes, I finally got it to work by using an old staple -- dropping it on the floor. Since the iPod had gotten jostled a bit in my bag over the weekend, I eventually realized rejostling it might work -- and sure enough, after a handful of drops to shake the hard drive back into place, I've got operating once again and syncing up with my computer. Like one thread on the iPod boards discussion, it's almost like slamming a TV to make it work -- who knew something like that would work on something like this.
