Today's Observation

The sun is still shinning. No dimensional rifts are tearing te skies asunder. Bring on the Higgs Boson!

On another much sadder note, after numerous dropping and various mishandlings over 3 years, my archos is on the verge of death. I'll have to take up the godawful task of selecting its replacement. The only worthy contendors I've seen lately are zune and ipod players. I have disdain for both consdidering the thing I loved so much about the Archos was its drag and drop feature. All I had to to to get tracks or files on it was copy and paste. From what I know, if you can't get the file into the zune marketplace or itunes that file is not going on your player. That means none of that external hd action for you. Anyways, if anyone out there owns either or and wants to tell me why their player is so wonderful, please do. I need help making a final decision on it.

iPod has a drag and drop feature that can be activated, to counter act the auto-synch feature that all mac products are notorious for.

I have a Zune, and you can't drag and drop with it. I do think there are ways to make both the Zune and iPod drag and droppable.

Yeah, look at that, I found a way. XP

I personally like the Zune a lot better, I mean the screen is bigger, and it's cooler, and does more, and all that. XDD
