Yeah! R700 owners rise up! Fight the power, or something!
I love my 700; I caress it and er, uh, I mean, I take it all over to
listen to or at least advocate MD. With the armband case I can have it
on without it being in the way, like a belt-pack can sometimes be, and
it's more noticeable, too... so hopefully people will ask "What's that?"
and I can evangelize. And it's light and small enough, I stick it to my
dashboard with a strip of Velcro when I drive and then tuck it away in
the ashtray (the clean never-used-for-ashes ashtray, that is!) when I
leave the car. Who needs detachable face when you have detachable
player?
Hmm, I suppose all that could apply to any MD player, couldn't it?
I'd better post something specifically R700-related:
A friend was impressed with my 700 but wanted to save a few bucks, and
so bought a 500. He's selling it on eBay now. He eventually realized the
500 was too cut-back, and bought a 700. And the 900 is cool but too
expensive, moreso for the 909. So I'm satisfied. If NetMD ever comes out
that might change, though.
I had been waiting for the G750, for the built-in radio. Then I walked
into Best Buy and saw the newly-arrived R700s, with a column of light
shining on them from on high and a chorus of angels singing, and I
couldn't resist---I even got a free cherub with the purchase! But I
don't regret it; when I found out you couldn't record from the radio the
G750 seemed fairly pointless (though still cool). For the R700-G750
price difference, I could buy a separate radio Walkman with easier
controls and more presets.
