|A present for myself.|
I decided that I would treat myself to a new iPod (because at the time my old one had less than 2 weeks remaining on its warranty and I was not aware of an Apple store in Paris), but only if three conditions were met:
1) I received money from my "mother" for Christmas
2) I received good grades
3) I got into another Top law school before the end of winter break
I realized today that all 3 conditions have been met. BUT I found the other day that there is one retailer in Paris who will ship iPods to Apple to be fixed or replaced. That was on Tuesday. I picked up my brand new replacement iPod today. So now my current one is again under warranty for another 90 days (or a year -- the tech guy was a little unclear on that, or maybe it's 'cause he was speaking in French). So I probably shouldn't get the new iPod. Especially since it's the first one with video and who knows -- perhaps in no less than a few months a new new one will come out. At the same time, I could try and sell my current iPod (even though it's the year before last year's model) and use that along with the Christmas money to buy the new iPod and not actually spend a dime... which would not be the case if I waited because then, a few months or a year from now, the money from my mother would be spent and my current iPod would really have no resale value.
Thoughts?
