Same! iPodLinux was my introduction to Embedded Systems, and that's now my actual job :-)

I was only a teenager at the time as well, yet read the whole forum as a moderator. It was always fascinating to learn what new hacks people had made to let the iPod do everything it's capable of!

It's so nice to see Linux becoming available for the iPhone and iPad too.

Now the iPod is discontinued, I wish Apple would release its intellectual property (schematics, board views), so I can repair the old ones. The screen's a bit glitchy on my 1st gen, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
