Gadget-land

From the one-of-three department:
Well, it has been a month so of course I have gotten my hands on some new gadgets. The latest gadget acquisition is a new MP3 player. I got an iRiver H320. You can’t buy these in stores anymore, so I had to go to this really large mall in cyberland called eBay.
What is this “MP3 player” of which I speak? It is one of a few platforms on which runs Rockbox, the greatest firmware for digital audio players ever. It plays many different digital audio formats (except those stupid DRM’d ones). It has a remote control which will fit nicely in my car. It has a colour screen which is good for viewing pictures. It has lots o’ RAM so it can last longer on battery and tell me about what song plays next and stuff. It plays games. It slices. It dices. Finally, it has an FM radio which is really why I got it. I go on binges where I listen to MP3s, and I go on other binges where I listen to radio. So it’s nice to have one player that keeps me happy.
Until it’s time to get another one, of course, I mean hell, this model is ALREADY obsolete.
Twenty-two salesmonkeys who walk the floor at Best Buy felt me write that sentence and twitched a little with anticipation.
PINGBACK: […] Back in August I got myself a new music player. The there was peace and happiness in Team Norm’s Musical Corner as I basked in the luxury of all the sounds. […]
