I get the feeling some of you die hards take offense to the idea someone would actually want to sell one of these after owning one.. It's ok guys, it's just a little computer with a primitive display..
And broadband is just this simple technology that pushes bits of information to my house. But I've had it since 1998, and can't stand internet at 56k anymore. It's the type of thing that you have to live with for a bit, let the newness wear off, and by then it's part of your life. I've had some sort of empeg in the dash for two years now, and also can't imagine going back. I still watch some of my friends deal with mix cd's and cd storage in these visor holders. Or just watching them deal with crappy FM radio and seeing their want to enjoy all of their music from their massive ripped MP3 collections. Lucially the fire sale helped many of them out, but for me, it's not something I ever want to give up. Sure, I could deal with a subset of my music on an MP3 cd player, but I don't want to. I enjoy the fact that if I want all my music in one place, I have it.
The only product that will get me to move beyond my empeg is a newer revision. So far, nothing is on the horizion visible to us, so I'll just hold on to my new 60gb and 10 gb units, and hope that I don't have to deal with going back to limited forms of music.
The empeg is the 3rd device that has affected major decisions in my life. When I went shopping for a car, I did visual inspections determaining how hard an install would be, and based my current car decision off that. And my past two living places have been determained by GSM cell phone reception, and broadband availability.
