My iPod gave me a SHOCK !!
Hi, I just got my iPod, I pluged it into my G4's Firewire port. Everything went fine, the transfer was fast and easy.
I decided to leave it a bit longer for it to charge. A few minutes later I decided to move it and TRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRT!!!!! And the damn thing gave me an electric shock!
It wasn't that strong but still do you think the hard drive can get screwed up because of this? Is this causing it to charge more slowly?

I touched one of the metal feet holders on the bottom, and BAM! A huge shock.
But touching it afterwards, and i am *convinced* there was some current coming off the damn thing.

Heh, I was over at a friends one time and we were sitting here with a USB cord plugged into the keyboard slot on his iMac. I was checking osmehitng out on the net when all of a sudden I hear this "hmmmffffarrr" sound, I look over and my friend is holding his mouth. I ask what happened and he points to the USB cable and points to his tooth. I was laughing for nearly 15 minutes. Seems he, without thinking, tapped the cable on his tooth.
