i hate my iPod

i hate my ipod.  i bought it in 2005 and it worked for a year.  now the batteries are dead and computers wont revognize it because i downloaded itunes on too many computers.  i lost music that i paid for because of the stupid thing, and it always seems to turn off right when i think it is working again.  i hate it.  and i also hate that when you call apple for help, you have to pay 60 bucks a year to even receive customer service.  what a rip off.
