Wow.
Watching Steve Jobs debut the iPod in 2001, brought me back to elementary school and annual assemblies. Does anyone remember those? My school would have an annual “all school special assembly”, with a “surprise guest”, usually a magician or a fire breathing clown.
Oh but I digress. So one year later at the WWDC, Apple killed off Mac OS 9 on a huge stage filled with smoke and a coffin. What a difference. Can you blame me for thinking iPods saved Apple? ;)

I remember my senior year of HS, I did a report for English on music piracy and how Apple, with iTunes, was helping legitimize digital music sales. Yep, I was a tech geek then, too.
Can you imagine where we’d be without the iPod and iTunes? I can’t.
As much as we complain about iTunes DRM, I can’t imagine where we’d be, either.
Upload the report on your blog, Shawn. I’d love to read it!
Immediately after this announcement, I posted online that the typical 24 year-old (me) would not buy it. I bought it 12 hours later, when I watched the video upon getting home.
FAIL me.
You seriously bought it after watching that video? :O OMG You are a TRUE fanboy, LG hahaha
I wish the discussion board I posted that at was still active. It was on the RagigBull.com AAPL stock board. I would find it and show you.
It’s funny how empty that conference room is compared to later events. Few people predicted that the iPod was going to change Apple’s history.
Did you know Zune in Hebrew means FUCK?
