The Long Road to a Cheap iPod Knockoff

  1. Buy a Creative Zen Nomad Jukebox Xtra 30GB mp3 player off EBay from Chance Deals, where they sell consumer returns and don’t guarantee that it works.
  2. Receive it and find out that it doesn’t work. “Hard drive problem,” it says when you turn it on. Feel robbed for a day or so.
  3. Check out this article on nomadness.net and discover that the Creative Zen player uses a standard Fujitsu laptop hard drive.
  4. Buy a 40GB Fujitsu laptop hard drive off EBay.
  5. Pop open the back cover and replace the hard drive.
  6. Voila. You’re a geek.
