CurlyKicker, I did bet on two rio players on ebay, one which ends today (and it had an extra blue lens ) hehe.. could it be!!!
anyways...my story is (i have a bmw) and since i laid eyes on Rio -a while back- i couldn't get it of off my mind. but $1000+ for a person who was in high school (at the time) is too much.. after getting the bmw, (now i am in college) i read about people doing MP3 Boxs from old PCs.. so I did one... but after I saw a Rio player on ebay.. emotions just started to play with me again. Still 500-700 is too much for me.. especially that it is discontinued, and accessories are a pain in the As$ to buy (and mind u very expensive) I might wait untill they are cheaper (long time) or until technology brings us something better @ a good price.

wish me luck.. as my savings are either going for a new set of Alloy wheels, the Rio player (i doubt at the moment) or a new PC and a paint job for the car!! :-\
