iPod Espresso Murder!

c9...or rather: iPod; Espresso; Murder.
1. When my iPod Shuffle is plugged in to the desktop's USB port, and then the desktop is powered on, it hangs at the BIOS logo and refuses to boot. How annoying. Nothing more frustrating than non-spec hardware. Except for everything else about computers that's frustrating.
2. The failure to boot until I had removed just about every cable and component in turn, checking them all, led me to thinking about the eventual death of our desktop. So I want this as a replacement. Gimme gimme gimme. Maybe someday I'll actually have that kind of technology toy spending money too.
3. Dear Lazyweb: please find some deep and fascinating meaning in this:
