Although no one is willing to do it for you, so most likely you will end up having to pry open the gadget yourself, cursing and swearing under your breath as you go along. But since yours is pretty new, and under warranty, this is really quite irrelevant, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1158736158302553782006-09-20T08:09:00.000+01:002006-09-20T08:09:00.000+01:00I was aware of Richard Cheese, but only got the jo...I was aware of Richard Cheese, but only got the joke inherent in the name this very second.<BR/><BR/>Still haven't solved the phone/email problem, hurrah for GW in Oz, thanks for all the ipod commiserations, much appreciated.James Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604261370633794445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10831518.post-1158732859195529792006-09-20T07:14:00.000+01:002006-09-20T07:14:00.000+01:00I've been dancersizing to my iRiver.
