If you're struggling developing software, then I'd recommend gardening.

I do and my wife does, neither of us would touch an iPod. Even little Luke likes running around pretending it's he's listening to music. And for the last time it's now brown, everytime I mention I have a BLACK Zune everybody asks me why I could buy a brown turd like that.

"You made a smart choice in choosing an iPod" Yeah, you didn't follow trends at all, you evaluated the market and went against the grain. What a joke. I *hate* iPods. The screens are too small to actually watch anything on, and they add insult to injury by being manufactured from fairy wings, or something equally as fragile. I love my Zen W, I keep it well protected and it's huge screen looks great. I love my MuVo, it cost next to nothing, runs forever on one battery and hasn't got a screen worth protecting, so I don't have to worry, I just have music, where-ever I want it.

They are great. I had one that took a hell of a pounding. Finally my 18 month old destroyed it with some water. But, I have to agree with hide-a-pod message that the zune is a ugly pos.

I bought the brown turd and I love it. Matter of preference I guess.

5. The same thing happens in the console wars (only x10000). Penny Arcade has had some pretty funny commentary about that lately.

Weird. I have pretty much the same experience with an iPod nano (the 1st generation one, I don't much like the new one.) Only difference is I don't watch video on small screens so I don't need or want the "huge screen."

It ain't much better on OSX, unless they have made some drastic improvements recently.

That surprises me... I always assumed it was horrible under windows because Apple did a sloppy job of porting it. I didn't think it would also be that way under OSX. I like some parts of it, like the iTunes store interface, but it's just so damn slow.

Yeah, probably am. I don't listen to much music. At my computer I hook up Sirius online (which I have for the first year with my Jeep purchase). When I was flying allot I used the phone capabilities for the music. It was one less thing to carry and was good enough for me.

I think it's funny how some folks reply to a statement like "Apple sheep". The reply is generally from those that fall in that category, because they don't realize that it doesn't mean all people that own Apple products, but rather the people that will purchase anything made by Apple, because it's Apple. They make a choice to take it personally.

Great, so the guy who doesn't listen to much music is commenting on a thread about what device we listen to music on. Excuse me while I go to the Lesbians Who Use Egg Beaters forum and tell them all Phillips make the best one... No offense meant, MP3 players just make us narchy :)

Yeah because the only brand that works is Apple. Right. The rest of the corporate West has no affect on you. Aren't you the strong, independent, free thinking man about town.

Get more RAM! After I added another GB to my machine it started working much better (of course, my home machine has Vista.)
