iPod Glitch

Here's something I had to find out the hard way. At least, I didn't see any warnings about this in the documentation when I bought an iPod shuffle. You should only have one iPod plugged into your computer at a time. I'm running Windows XP on a Dell tower. I had the Shuffle plugged in, happily getting charged when I plugged in an iPod mini. Error message. Somehow this corrupted the iPod (who knew?) Reboot. Nope. Reset. Nope. Restore the mini. That worked. Nevermore. Must warn the kids.
