[senit] ipods

From: Simon Judge <simon.judge at nhs.net>

Well my iPod Shuffle I can use without looking at the screen (as it doesn't
have one) ;-).  I must admit I was walking the dog down a dark lane a couple
of nights ago, took my iPod Classic out of my pocket to look at the screen
and careered into a ditch as I was blinded.  Gosh, that screen is big and
bright in the dark.
