Lance Armstrong's iPod!

Yeah, the Wallstreets had upside-down logos.

Check out this ebay auction

Scroll down and view the second photo that is available, you'll see the powerbook on the left has it's case closed and the logo is right-side up, meaning it will be upside-down when the lid is up.


EDIT: I forgot to ask my question! I'm in the market for an iPod and am an avid cyclist, both road/path and mountain. Do the iPod's skip much, or is one better than the other (mini/regular)? Thanks!

I have never had a problem Biking with my iPod, never had it skip. Hope that helps...

My wife and I do quite a bit of biking, mostly on the street but also some light trails. She has a mini and reports that it has never skipped. Actually, she said she didn't even know it could skip. I just got my 4G 20 GB last night and have only ridden with it today so my experience won't count for much but also, no skipping. Considering they have something like 20 minutes of "skip protection" I think you'll be hard pressed to ever have your iPod miss a beat.
 
Oops!

I am little confused. Both my ibook G3 (14/900) and my friend's tiBook (15/867) have the logos on them in such a way that they are right side up when they are open . . . as far as I know they (the ice books, and tibooks) have always been like this . . .

Ya, as you'll read on the second page of this forum, I was a bit incorrect. The older 'books, like the Wallstreet Powerbooks and the 'fruity' iBooks had the upside-down logo. I remembered reading about it in an Apple history book once, but obviously wasn't paying enough attention. My apologies! :eek:
