  1. I can see our future generation iPod now.

    Great now I can just pop the buds in and not have to listen to these blow hards who can’t make it in the real world.

    All I got from Duke was an iPod. Now I own 14 clubs, employ 2000 people and make millions getting people hammered. Thanks Apple.

    Illini class of 88

  3. Big friggin deal, every incoming student at the University of Illinois will be getting a Dell DJ. Read it and weep Duke frosh class.

    It’s the U of I students that will be weeping. Who the hell would rather have a Dell DJ than an iPod? WinDOS only, can’t play ITMS songs, what a piece of crap!
