Important Update: Today the MacLife.com server suffered data loss that resulted in comments posted between 4 a.m. PST and 1:30 p.m. PST to be lost. We apologize for this inconvenience, and we are extending the contest to 11:59 p.m. PST, Sunday, August 17, 2008. If you posted a comment during that time, you may have to re-post it. Double check the comments, just to be sure. Again, we apologize for this.
Touch screen?!?! Come on, who wants their greasy fingers all over their iPod. Frankly, it can be downright disgusting. A swipe here, a tap there, next thing you know you got a slimy iPod mess. So lets go old skool with this week's comment contest, with an 80GB iPod classic.
All you have to do is post a comment in this article to win your very own iPod classic. That's it! The comment can be as long or as short as you like – one word will do!
Our Mac|Life super comment choosing machine will choose a random comment and award one lucky person a brand new 80GB iPod classic, with a retail value of $249.00. The odds of winning are determined by the number of eligible entries received. The prize is nontransferable and must be accepted as awarded.
Here are the rules:
- You can only enter once. Commenting more than once will automatically disqualify you from the contest.
- The contest is limited to legal residents of the United States (excluding residents of Puerto Rico). Void where prohibited by law. Entrants must be at least 13 years of age.
- The contest will end at 11:59p.m. PST on August 17, 2008.
- Check out the full official rules below.
So cross your fingers and start your comments.

The decision of Sponsor shall be final and binding and within its sole discretion. Winners will be notified by phone or email within ten (10) days of the drawing.

The winner will be required to sign an affidavit of eligibility/release of liability/prize acceptance within seven days of receipt; failure to do so upon request will result in forfeiture of the prize. By acceptance of the prize, the winner agrees to the use of their name and/or likeness for purposes of advertising, trade, or promotion without further compensation, unless prohibited by law.

Finally -- a place where I can be me, and say the things that need to be said and the world will listen. Thank Mac| Life, can I please have an iPod?
Submitted by macboy on Thu, 2008-08-14 14:22
well i think if you want to win you might want to atleast make a comment that actually means something
but i think the music listening interface of the classic is better than the touch but the touch has more bells and wistles so for music listening only classic is better anyone else agree
Submitted by reyescfd on Thu, 2008-08-14 14:23
I wouldn't hurt to have a nice shinny black old ipod

Personally I prefer the look and feel of the iPod classic in the front pocket of my over priced undersized jeans. One word...delicious.
