For all you iPod owners out there:

You know how your iPod flashes a big NO sign when it’s plugged into the computer? Its supposed to stop you from unplugging the iPod at an inappropriate time. I’m here to tell you that it’s not a joke, you are NOT supposed to just unplug it. Especially while it’s synchronizing with iTunes. I have my podcasts synching down to my iPod and I accidently unplugged it from the computer while it was doing it’s thing. It corrupted the entire iPod disk. iTunes told me to run chkdsk against it. I’m still waiting to see if it saves my little guy.

UPDATE : Yep, the hard drivve got toasted. All my music has once again be erased from it. grrrrr.
