I checked out the Nano today. I'm buying. They had no 4Gs and no black of any size. They can't keep them in stock. They got 70 the day before and there were none left for me.





But anyway .... what to engrave? I'm trying find a cool song lyric but nothing I like fits into 23+23 characters I'm allowed.



I thought of something funny like This iPod stolen from ... but I might want to sell it some day.



Other ideas? What have you done?

    If you *might* want to sell it someday, don't get it engraved. Otherwise...

    Think Different would be better on one line. How about the lyrics "We hope that you choke" taken from Radiohead - that would help you sell it. I liked the Joy of Tech ten things not to get engraved - This is a Bomb is good. Interface stolen from Creative, iPod therefore I am. I think engraving is a bit pointless if you're going a sell it though. Keep it impersonal if you wish to sell, but then if you choose a good quote you could sell at a premium.



    "Give me a leonard cohen afterworld

    so I can sigh eternally"



    "Goddamn right it's a beautiful day"



    "I read the news today oh boy,

    <followed by something cool about the iPod etc.? (four thousand holes in PowerMac G5 etc.)>



    "You say you've got everything you want

    And your iPod can sing"



    "I'd like to teach the world to sing,

    in iTunes harmony"



    etc.

    Yep. You're still hot.



    (or, if giving to a "friend")



    Yep. You're still ugly.

    "get your own iPod"





    "Even with the iPod

    You're still not cool"



    "Stolen this iPod is

    Asshole you are"



    I was looking at someone's nano at work with the laser engraving. It's lesser quality than I thought it would be.

    my father has a phrase





    'LOCKS are only for honest men'



    some things will happen no matter WHAT you do to prevent them.



    history shows this over and over.
