[ale] OT: MP3 player

[Robert L. Harris]

I thought of that but I had it a good 6-9 months.  I dropped it after a
week (I was cussing for 2hrs til I could get a replacement battery).  It
3 weeks later the battery happened and it got just enough acid on it to
put 2 spots on the door, that's it.  Don't tell me a acid mark on the
battery door from 7 months prior killed it.

Yeah, I'm tough on hardware though.  I just found out Creative makes a
nomad jukebox but the sucker is huge.  Hard to strap to a motorcycle
handlebar ... :>

On the other hand when I say something is rugged, my friends know it's
true :>
