I don't think any hostility was intended. But your problem reminds me of an ex.. She took a photography class three years or so ago, and the instructor insisted everyone use film, not digital cameras. The logic was 'digital cameras are outdated as soon as you buy them, so you should invest in film'. Total nonsense: unless you pay a small fortune for a top of the line slr and lenses and film, film is outdated already. Yes, there will always be "something better" coming in the future.. but you deprive yourself of the present for that. (Not to mention, especially for students, digital is a gift: feel free to waste as many shots as you learn, it substantially lowers the cost of experimentation.) So, yeah, some year there will be a Boom2 (or would it be Radio++?). There will be a SuperTouch or whatever. But why deprive yourself of present and near-term (for some definition of that... who knows if it will be a year or 4?) in hopes of that future product, which will also be superceded at some point... If you have the money, choose the player that suits your needs, it's silly to wait for future technology. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77447 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
