The PC and the Ipod CAN be used to get decent quality sound. My 2.1 PC system simply smokes any system that you can get out of the generic computer box. It didn't cost that much more either. Top quality lossless digital copies can sound pretty darn good on an Ipod. (connected to the right gear). No, it's not the hardware that's the problem, it's the LIFESTYLE.

Kids are brought up from a early age now to think that if you aren't doing something fast right now, you not having fun. So, if your not playing your Xbox, surfing the web, watching inane reality shows, or playing massive multiplayer game on your PC your not doing something worthwhile with your time. Listening to music is way down on the list for kids these days, even though most of them have Ipod buds surgically implanted in their ears.
