Has anyone reading this sent their iPod off anywhere & can recommend a company or not really? I have a dead pixel or two which I'm not really that bothered about to be honest but would probably see…

is it necessary to post this on facebook?
A friend has posted this on facebook and it seems to be saying that we should all post similar. I'm not in the habit of copy and pasting things that others post (all those "my real friends will put this on their timeline and I'll know they love me" things). But this implied data protection issues. So I thought I'd pop it…
