Am I the only one who picked a dead Zune over an iPod Classic in 2010 and still uses it daily?
Everyone told me I was nuts for buying the Zune HD instead of the iPod Classic, and now mine still plays fine while three friends have dead iPods with bad drives, so what dead gadget did you stubbornly stick with?

My buddy Dave went through two iPod Classics in four years while my Zune 30 from 2006 kept chugging along, so I get the love. But let's be real here: your Zune still works because you got lucky, not because Microsoft built some magic machine. Those things had their own horror stories, like the great leap year bug of 2008 that bricked thousands of Zunes overnight. And when your Zune does finally die, good luck finding parts or a battery, since Microsoft killed the whole line in 2011. Apple at least still supports old iPods with repairs and accessories, plus you can swap the drive for flash memory in about ten minutes. Sticking with dead tech can be fun, but calling it the smart pick is a stretch when the company buried it and walked away.
