That's not funny, simply because the paper clip actually makes command decisions at Microsoft.

I wonder how many people will buy a Zune, then return it or throw it away never to buy one again since it can't play their iTunes music.
And because it sucks, just like all the other non-iPod players.

I never thought they sucked, but I never thought they were that great either. But I bought an iPod because I just felt like I needed to have one. Good thing I did, because that $300 investment saved my life. When I was on a boat in the Indian Ocean for 3 months, with no Mexican food or Screeching Weasel albums within 3000 miles, it was extremely nice to have my entire cd collection sitting in my pocket. The 22 hour plane ride from Atlanta to Johannesburg would have been torture without the iPod as well. And recently I got a car stereo that the iPod connects to, for long road trips. I'm not one of those guys that carries my iPod with me all the time and always has earphones in. But the convenience of portability is worth the money. Besides, any free space can be used as a removable hard drive.
