:-) Well, I exaggerated anyway. I am interested in storing some photos and videos on the device (e.g., of work or personal interest). Photos work well, and I did download the sample "elephants dream" video from rockbox.org and put it on the Sansa and it plays just fine. I haven't tried encoding any video for it myself, but the process seems straightforward and I assume it will work. Still, the inconvenience factors (like effort required and size of screen) would keep me from using it for most new content, but that's just me, in this particular snapshot of time and equipment. mm _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
