[Apple iPod] Re: Turning the darned thing OFF.

I started this thing thread quite a while back. Since there's no answer, and only a
suggestion that settling for "standby" mode in some cases is IT. I suppose there is no
solution and that I'll just spend mounting hours pressing and holding a portion of the
wheel that may or may not turn it off when I want to. (I'm picturing a semi-comical rigged
up wall light switch attached to the back of my iPod.)
