Re: MD: Things Sony should add/Sony reliability

Perhaps you should bring a portable player to those parties instead of your 520. Also, open the discs' write-protects: the extra trouble to eject the discs, close the write-protects, and reinsert the discs might be just what keeps a joker from trying anything. It certainly will make it take more work than just touching two buttons. Finally, with a 520 you can clone the TOCs to scratch discs that you leave at home; if someone screws around with deletions or titles, you can restore the original information as soon as you get home. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's as close as I can get since their really isn't an exact meaning in English] still working, but let's not talk about the JE510s I went through. Sure the law of averages will allow you to have several Sony units that are very reliable. But your 510 only strengthens my point. After they they fixed my MZ-1 2 times it worded fine. My son has it (I'm tempted to give him one of my newer units so that he will not destroy my MZ-1 because I really believe that working models will be worth something in the future). It not just that it will be old. It is the uniqueness of the unit. Off topic again: Do you realize that there is NO word in English that can be used to describe the relationship between the parents of the husband and wife. Thin about it. They are not in laws to each other. But in Yiddish there is a specific word that describes the relationship. Thanks to the comedian Mike Myers, Yiddish has become an "in thing". I wish I was fluent it it. I understand a little and speak even less. A lot of neat expressions.
