    Lets see, my Toshiba e805 is (L x W x H) 5.30 x 3.00 x 0.60 in. The iPod mini is (L x W x H) 3.6 x 2.00 x 0.50 in. Please show me where I can get a Palm based PDA thats less then 0.10 in thick.

    And take up twice as much space. I allready have a PDA, why not use it as my MP3 player as well? Hell, I could even rip out a 4GB CF card from one of those MP3 players nad use it for storage. Better yet, my PDA has a hot swappable battery.

    Why is every hard disk MP3 player made after the iPod an iPod clone while the iPod is not a clone of the hard disk MP3 players around before it? I've been wondering.

    For a consumer "I want something to listen to while I'm jogging" means that they dont get an iPod, unless they also want "moving parts that can break making it so that every time you trip you need to shell out another 250$ for another iPod". If its got a hard disk in it, its not good for jogging.

    So you're claiming that it would never cost 300k$ to run, say Yahoo.com for 2.5 years? You do understand that not all websites are pictures of a guys fish. There is more to a site then the cost of the server and bandwidth. In fact, if thats all you put into a site, you just get the Apache intro page.

    remember, Yahoo.com is a website. So is Google.com and for that matter slashdot.org. A complex website costs thousands to millions a year to run. That having been said, this guy is still a jerk.

    And I allready have SD/SDIO cards for my PDA. Whats your point? SD/SDIO is smaller and faster then CF. This is why its getting used more and more over CF. Should we be bitching that this thing isn't supporting six inch floppy disks as well?

    Read the web page. Its not fish but rather critters without scales and fins.

    Leviticus 11:9-12 says:
    9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
    10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
    11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
    12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

    Deuteronomy 14:9-11 says:
    9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
    10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
    11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
