Cd tray to ipod dock? crazy but true!

So, do you know that little thing that slides out of your computer when you press the button and a cd goes in it? The optical drive? Well, no one really uses theirs anymore because when we want to install a program we can just look to the internet. So if you don't use your optical drive anymore and you own an ipod, you can turn the optical drive into an ipod dock! You first have to cut a hole in the cd large enough to fit the plastic docker that came with the ipod. Then tape the docker to the cd, attach the cable that comes with the ipod to the ipod and computer and you are set! It's waaaaaay cheaper than the one apple makes! But note that you should make sure that your cd tray doesn't close when the computer is shut off or after a certain period of time after first opening the cd tray. Have fun! :)
