I have an old Ipod but it freezes up on me when I play a particular word game.
Anyway, I thought a new one would not have that problem. I am technically
Challenged in a major way.

This is what I need. Perhaps you will then have a suggestion for me as to what to buy

It needs to be as simple as possible.
I want my game... I want my music... I want to take pictures and post them to
FB (right now I can, but it won't post to my email)

I want Email and Facebook. All the rest is fine, but these are features I most want.
Any advice would be great. I can purchase it on Amazon, or go to Best Buy,
etc. lots of choices (I'm in NY)

I play a lot of Scrabble. Now matter how new my computer is, with tons of memory and the latest software, it has problems almost every day. Word games are memory hogs. I can't imagine playing one on an ipod.
Go to Best Buy and ask for advice without buying anything, then come back here to tell us what they suggested - they might try to sell you more than you need, but maybe not.

Will get it done. I'm taking someone who knows a little more about this
Then me which means maybe 25% and me 0%
