My iPod appears to be either dead or gravely ill. It makes a whirring sound, as if it's trying to start, then displays a URL for support and shuts down. I suppose I should be glad it has any response at all, but still.
Perhaps I will spend this evening loading stuff onto the little Sony mp3 player.
Having just talked to Liam, he says it sounds like hard drive failure. Somehow I doubt that's good.
