it’s now (finally) restoring from backup. from a snapshot stored 12 days ago. I’d been really bad about syncing to my computer because it takes so FRACKING long to sync with apps now. I sure hope I haven’t lost any of the apps I bought directly on the iPod. I don’t think there was any music there that hadn’t been copied off… grumble… fracking flakey iPod Touch 2.0 software…
