The Cheap Geek: The iNo
As a kid, my father taught me well the joy of being frugal. When all of the other kids were getting the Air Jordans, dad would take me to Payless and get me a pair of their knock-off basketball shoes. Want a Powell Peralta skateboard? Zayre has a sale on the dayglo orange Nash. Doc Martens? Farm and Fleet has “military style” black boots. Oooh, and they’re water-resistant.
I’m not going to say that I am bitter or anything, but let’s just say that my classmates in grade-school didn’t have the same appreciation for a good deal.
So, if you’d like to teach your youngins the sublime pleasures of finding a good deal and give them a solid foundation for a lifetime of fashion insecurity, perhaps you’d like to answer their prayers for an iPod with the very free iNo. All you need is one of those old school mice from the 80’s-era Apples and some ganked headphones and viola! The iNo.
Since the folks who created the iNo, don’t have much of a marketing budget, I’d like to offer the following tagline which they are free to use: iNo – uh…there’s an apple logo on it.

"iNo – uh…there’s an apple logo on it"
Hmmmz... I don't No ;-) Maybe we should say something like 'genuine Apple!' it is in fact a genuine Apple product, still... But then, I didn't have any plans to do anything to market this thing... :-)
(I'm surprised you linked it by the way, it's almost a year old, but well, old link on an even older Apple product, maybe it just all fits together quite well)

Hi Mark. Thanks for dropping by! You're right, the link is a little old, and for anyone reading, please check out Mark's site for much more current, and very clever Apple-y projects --> geektechnique.org/projectlab
