  • Sorry to hear about the change to your master plan. Sounds like you roll like I do, always accepting that things happen for a reason. Most times for the better <knock on wood>

    I wish you and your family well.

    • I had to consider every scenario when I decided to give notice, and did so expecting NOTHING. In the end, for whatever politics exist, I have to at least be grateful that I had at least transitional employment and received a bonus at the end of the year.

      I thank you sir for kind wishes - unemployment kinda sucks, but I strongly believe longer term it will work out for the best...

      • LOL, Deb. Hadn't seen that one, but yeah, where there's smoke there's fire. I get my fill of that with Symantec on my XP2 setup, so I'm in no hurry to have the entire OS be part of the fun.

        • COOP,

          We're going to give consideration to attending the KC v DET game this year. If we can pull it off, perhaps you can join us?????

          • I have a Creative Zen Vision 30G and it is far superior to the Ipod. Like Larsky said, Creatve has a radio tuner and record radio, voice notes, speech, class room lectures, etc. It also has a better screen. You can also use it as a hard drive. It plays ten times the formats as Ipod.

            Ipod is lighter and thinner, and the click wheel can't be beat, but those features and Apple properity formats suck ass.

            Deb, I don't walk around with mine alot either. It does come in useful for watching movies on a plane and it is great for pictures and home movies of my son. I also use it alot for parties on my home stereo and with little speakers when working in the yard or laying by the pool. Well worth the $200 dollars I paid.

                      Its very handy doing chores and really helpful running.....
                      Froot, my wife bought me the same one back in August for our anniversary. I F'ing LOVE IT! She researched MP3 players in-depth and decided I needed one without a mechanical hard drive, as I'd probably break it.

                      I use it at the office all the time during the day....put it on, turn on the tunes and close my office door. I can get a lot of work done that way!

                      Also, get yourself a rubberized "jacket" for it. It really protects the unit. You can get one off of Amazon.com (use Deb's link here at the top)

                            Actually, it plays fewer audio formats than the iPod, not more.

                            Zen: MP3, WMA, WMA with DRM, Audible (formats 2 and 4), WAV = 6 formats

                            iPod: MP3, AAC, AAC with DRM, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, WAV = 9 formats

                            [Since the three formats Audible offers are significantly different from each other in how they compromise between sound quality and file size, it seems appropriate to count them as separate formats.]

                            Of the Zen's 6 formats, four are propietary?WMA, WMA w/ DRM, and the two Audible formats.

                            Of the iPod's 9 formats, four are proprietary?AAC w/ DRM, and the three Audible formats.
