What shall I have engraved on my iPod?

[TimJBart]

About to get a 4th gen 20 gig iPod for my birthday and because its free I want something engraved. I'm gonna have the date on the second line but I want something clever on the first line...any ideas?

My name is Tim Bartholomew so im tempted to just put Tim but thats boring! Perhaps iTim!? help!

i didn't bother with engraving on mine, for the reasons JohnR said.

A lyric from your favourite song?

If you could, I'd get your name in barcode form :dork:

you're all quite hostile to idea arent you, even on a gift. Don't think I'll be 'upgrading' either as its a bit rude to sell my 22nd Bday present on the internet.

'contents not authorised by the RIAA'
quite like that...clever...you think Apple would object to engraving that on?


anymore?

[Solidstate]

Something personal not suggested by people you don't really know?

[DB2k]

Indeed. When I got mine it was a referral prize and the company that I got it from put "Henshin a Go Go Baby" on the back which I thinks pretty cool, but you;d only know what it means, if you know what it means.. ;)


I dont think engravings devalue the ipods in anyway, unless you get HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIM XXX on it ;)

[Refrenz]

How about engraving 'This device will be illegal if the USA passes the INDUCE act'? ;)

Enough joking about, here's a website that will let you test a few phrases with a Virtual Engraver (http://www.ipodlaughs.com/ipod/iengraver/). Its really up to you what to put on it, and if I was getting an iPod engraved, I would spend a bit of time and think very carefully what to put on it.

very good point

[M@rtin]

very good point

Somehow I don't think Apple's engraving service would be very popular if it invalidated their own warranty! :doh:

That's what a guy at my work did. Just put his name and address on it. :dork:

My way of overcompensating.

(NOTE: I wouldn't actually have recommended these, but I thought they were funny. :D)
