@SonicTheHedgehog It's not literally called "College Prep", so don't capitalize both parts.

funny story. I bought my ipod 4g off amazon. I bought a 32 gb because I didn't need 64 gb so i didnt even bother checking the price. Ordered it. Next day out of curiosity I checked the price. $1 more than the 32 gig
