Changing batteries in the iPod

Anyone have an iPod? Curious how they work? It's old news that the batteries just don't last, and Apple make it almost impossible to remove. Well, the other weekend, with the help of a kit ($50) I operated. It is a brutal procedure that involves more force and swearing than you might expect but it is totally do-able. My battery no longer flakes after 2 hours, and sitting in its Muji case on my desk you'd never know that the equivalent of a colonoscopy with a mallet was conducted. Rock and roll continues.
