iPod "school" opens in London
File this one
under "I am absolutely going to do this in my own town and make a ton of dough." Selfridges in London is offering classes to iPod-toting Londoners to the tune of
£65 (about $115US as of this writing) each, with topics like using iTunes, creating playlists and downloading
podcasts.Classes can be attended at Selfridges' Oxford street location, or in your own home. If I had know someone would give me a hundred and fifty bucks to show them how to make a playlist, I would have set up shop years ago. So good luck to the enterprising geeks at Selfridges (and may London's iPod owners not realize that they can walk to the Regent Street Apple Store and get the same thing for free).

Now, the first thing is to hand over your money, cash, unmarked twenties preferably... thanks. Now, on with the training. Step one is RTFM, Step two is GET OUT, thanks for coming, you can sign up for the advanced class at the door, buh-bye now!"

But still, $115 for 40 minutes "work" still sounds good to me!
