THE DEVICE THE ANCIENTS SPOKE OF IN THEIR PROPHECIES! BEHOLD THE CORPSE OF THE IPOD SLAYER!

Found a refurbished 30GB Microsoft Zune, still sealed in the box with all the accessories PLUS a Zune Media Dock that will allow me to connect the Zune to a TV or stereo system, at a garage sale this morning for $5.

FIVE DOLLARS.

I'm really excited to charge this sucker and see how it works! From everything I heard back in the day, it really could have been an iPod Slayer if it had come from anybody but Microsoft and if it had come out just a year earlier. By the time Microsoft got this device in stores, Apple had already saturated the market with iTunes and made it the industry standard.

(Not unlike how Apple computers are better than PC's but Microsoft has already saturated the market with Windows - CALLING ALLANIS MORRISETT, WE GOTS SOME IRONY HERE!)

I have a classic iPod, generation five (circa 2007?), which came out before the touch screens became de rigur.It has 80 gig of space, which I will likely never fill, either. Funny how small is the new large, eh?

I think I'm gonna use these 30GB as an external drive to store all my Disney stuff :)
