The basics you mentioned would be fine with me. I don't need anything fancy. I don't care much for
window dressing. Just a reliable unit. As for the Sansa, i could load music but then could not
play it. The database wasn't updating properly until i plugged it into a windows box then it
updated its database and worked for a while afterward with linux and database updating, until
again i had to plug it into windows to get it to update the database. After the first time i had
to plug it into winblows i decided to take it back but in the spirit of discovery i decided to see
if it would continue to work and it didn't. I have a windows box but i don't use it except to
catch viruses and spyware for my mad scientist experiments. I unfortunately have to keep up with
winblows greatest failures for work but alas perhaps someday the windows virus will dissappear.
Until then...i will keep slogging through the Microshit but it ain't so bad with Penguin skin
boots!
