it wont work, well it will but it will recognise it as a new ipod and ask you to register it, overwriting your settings and probably overwriting your current playlist(s)

he'd need to use a seperate PC

That's not correct...

ITunes has been changed to accept multiple iPods after apple realised that some familes have lots of iPods and one computer. My PC has iTunes on it (once) and i run 5 iPods from that.

You just have to make sure it's not set to auto update all the iPods or you may lose songs or get ones on there you didn't want.

Search on the 'support' section of the Apple site for multiple iPods on one PC - it tells you what to do
