iPods Suck

I finally got my iPod. I tried to set it up this morning. After 57 reboots to update the iTunes software and the actual software on the iPod, I still can't use the thing. It's now telling me that I have to plug it in to the wall to flash the firmware. Uh...how is the wall going to flash the firmware? Did I bring the wall plug in to the office? No, why would I need it at work?

I am underwhelmed.
