Not owning any Shuttles, were there problems requiring heavy resets?

LOLz Love the indirect slam... Vista not supported. Indeed.

How about fixing all the inconsistencies in the iPod Touch while you're at it, Apple?

I have a shuffle and haven't noticed any problems with it, though it's not as heavily used as my iPod Video and iPhone... bought it for when I exercise... it's sitting there collecting dust and I'm sitting here collecting pounds...

My wife has had a shuffle for a year, and I don't recall ever having to reset it. I have had to restore the older 1GB nano several times during the same time period because it would not turn off. The iPod nano was the first iPod in the family - we now have five including the older 20GB 'classic' that I inherited from a relative.
