I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

I think if I were going to buy a teeny little MP3 player it would be the Sansa Clip.

My wife is getting a Sansa Clip. My son has a Sansa Fuze and it is a nifty little player. I wish the clip had a MicroSD slot like the Fuze does, but you can't have everything.

I'm getting my wife's from B&H where it looks like the Clips are discounted a bit. The 2GB are $40 and the 4GB are $50.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Are there any other mp3 players that track when you play a song like the iPod/iTunes combo? Because of that feature, I'm firmly in the iPod/iTunes-only camp.

Quick, someone give me a good reason not to buy a netbook!

Because I totally love mine and that is an awesome price?

Wait, that's not helping, huh?

Because supposedly Apple's coming out with a touch-screen netbook in the fall?

I just read an article that said to expect netbook prices around $200 by summer.

Yeah, but not for $269.

Really the main thing holding me back is that I also want to get rid of my G5 and a netbook won't replace that. So I should just buy a MacbookPro. But those don't cost $269 either.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you get rid of your G5, let me know how you did that, because my G5 is still sitting in the closet.

This one is blue, and only $239.99. [link]

It has XP, and the 8GB solid-state HD. How can that be? (Would XP fit?) Besides the XP, this one has the specs of Linux model I have. Do they still sell the Linux one?

I am very tempted by a netbook too. Cheaper than rewiring my house so that I can take my desktop out of the basement.

If it doesn't sell on Craigslist in 2 weeks I'll put it on Freecycle.
