Hey, I was in the same place, and i finally decided not to bother with anything that you couldnt put a cd in, so it came down to the rio volt, and it kicks ass, perhaps one of the best buys i have ever had.
The thing to note is that you should install the newest firmware immediately before doing anything else, as it fixes a lot of the problems.
I mean, buy a small 12 cd holder, and there you have 700 megs x 12 cds worth of mp3's, available to you whenever you want, what more could you really want?
i believe it plays up to 192kbs encoded mp3's too, and anything higher it just plays at 192.
Unfortunately our world doesn't work like this.
People believe what they hear, so if someone hears that some teacher raped someone, thats it, he's done.
It doesn't matter if they are innocent or guilty, just the fact that it could happen is enough for most people to believe it, and enough for the guy to lose his job, and probably have to switch careers.
If they are questioning you of anything to do with sex and kids (no matter what age, this includes teens), you will have a very hard time finding a job again.
One of my teachers from school was charged a long time ago, the charges were dropped, but he had to leave the school, last i heard he was no longer in the teaching profession, because something like that sticks with you, guilty or not.
I have a tecra 8100.
It has a p3-500 and i added an extra 128 megs of ram (seeing as how its so cheap these days) for a total of 192 megs.
it runs amazing.
The best thing about it was the price, it was from an online retailer and was what they called "open box" meaning someone bought it then returned it. Worked flawlessly out of the box.
