I got one fer Christmas and it kicks ass. Smaller than a pack of cigarettes, has 32MB of flash memory built-in (which is, admittedly, only large enough for four or five good-quality MP3s), and I bought a two dollar cord from Radio Shack with a mini stereo plug at each end that allows me to plug it into the car stereo. Of course, the software used to load the music into the RIO only runs on Winblows, AFAIK :P Other than that, though, it's rather neat. All solid state...no skipping :) Cheers, Mick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
