I am not having a good "Apple" day today. I took my fifteen year old daughter to The Apple Store today to buy a 32GB iPod Touch. She was so happy all day awaiting our trip to The Apple Store.

This is what happened. We told the salesperson what we came for he left for a moment then appeared with the Touch. I thought to myself the case the iPod Touch was in looks kind of small to accommodate the fat wall charger that is usually shipped with iPods. I mentioned to the salesman oh Apple must have reduced the foot print of the wall charger. He informed me that there was no wall charger just a USB cord. I then said let me understand this correctly. I am getting ready to give Apple 399.99 (plus tax) for an iPod and Apple can't even include a probably less than a dollar (made in China) wall charger??? The very helpful salesman then told me I could purchase one for 29.99. I said may I have a moment to confer with my daughter.
