^ True piece of advice/knowledge. Same goes for cellphones, you gotta let them run right down to keep the battery in good condition.

I was really sceptical about iPod's when I first bought mine, heard things about crap battery and screens breaking with the slightest touch and the scroller thingy not working.

I've had mine for 3 or 4 years now, I think it's the exact same version as your's Anastasia, 20gigs and black and white. I use the backlight constantly, I've got it set to 2 seconds, still works fine.

I can't tell if the battery is good or not, sometimes a charge will last me about a week of use and other times its only two days. I'm just waiting for it to crap out though, and when it does I'm booking a cry into my schedule for said day. Only ever had one problem, I ran it dead one day and I stuck it on the charger and nothing happened. It took two days for it to begin charging again.
