I'm having a hard time imagining the click wheel took you more than 10 seconds to figure out.

- cptskippy 23d agoLooking at photos of the OG iPod, the control looks a lot like a modern Apple TV remote which is a D-pad. But if you've ever held one you know instantly that it isn't a D-pad. And there was so much hype and advertising about it at the time, I'm not sure anyone would expect D-pad behavior from it. I want to say that Apple invented that particular design language, and prior to the original iPod nothing resembled that UI but I'm not sure. It seems to me that the OP was either too young or not alive when the OG iPod came out, and so they're looking at it like a modern man trying to figure out caveman tools.
