New toys

Just got a new MP3 player, a Creative Zen Touch. I LOVE it. Granted, I've only had it overnight, but it's great. I'm so glad I've decided to stop hating the iRiver and do something about it.

Related to that is another thing I've learned: how much faster USB 2.0 is than USB 1.1!! Files from my computer (USB 2.0) transfer at more than 50 Mbits/sec. Files from the external harddrive (USB 1.1) transfer at just slightly over 7 Mbits/sec. Unfortunately, the vast majority of my files are on the external harddrive. At this rate, it's going to take years. Okay. Maybe not years. Days, certainly.

P.S. If you decide to invest in a Creative player (or anything else for that matter - even iPod), forget the Creative software, and just go for Redchair's Notmad (or the equivalent program for your player) instead.
