It should be obvious that if one model is 6-7 years old, and one is new,
buy the new one. Except a new product that is so similar to one that is
6-7 years old is pathetic.

An article in TV Technology this week has some interesting news

try to summarize.
All stations currently transmitting DTV are using UHF frequencies, and
that's pretty much all full power stations at this point, at least in

I'm sorry, but that is not at all obvious. What if you want a lot of

There's no basis for saying that MS is going to drop support for this in a

new, it's unlikely in the extreme. The same goes for Apple's 120GB

So what are you using in place of computers? They were designed a lot
longer ago then the first ipod. Yes I'm being sarcastic but to make a
point. It might be obsolete tech to you, but to most people it's not.
The fact that those iPods designed as you said 6 or 7 years ago are still

Defragmentation takes the physical writing on the desk and puts it in
order. It moves files and rewrites the file table telling the system
where the file is located.
Disk Clean up cleans up your actual files and stem from temp files,
cache files and such.
Look at it this way.
