The new issue of Stuff arrived at my door yesterday and just as I was roaming through the section on new technology toys and thinking to myself yet again that they should have the RioCar in there, I flip the page and there it was! It only had a tiny paragraph on it, but it should be enough to get someone's interest and lead them to the web page! Cool!

It's happening...

It is more of a "blurb" than an article... I will take a pic of it. The cool thing is that the RioCar is shown at actual size almost. Basically, it was a 2 page spread of cool "toys", with a little paragraph on each product, but the RioCar is up top.

Which issue was it? I popped over to a magazine stand yesterday and looked all through it, but couldn't see any mention of it. Is it the May issue, with Marrisa Coughlin on the cover?

It's on page 116-117 of the latest Stuff *June 2001*. Jaime Pressly is the covergirl.

Here are some pictures of it. (Not very good quality as I don't have a scanner and had to use my digital camera)

I was just about to start yelling that somebody had improved fonts and display resolution without telling me :-))

Typo though - it claims that the 12gb model is plenty of space to hold 1020hours of music..

it might at a completely crap bit rate and quality setting. Why would you though?

Sure it would -- as long as you recorded it at 25kbps. I don't think even an audiobook would be acceptable at that rate, would it?
