It could be worse... It could be worse.
News re****t last night on one of those fancy new MP3 players, The
Microsoft ZOOM.
Seems a local mother purchased one for her darling son, Well, he
tripped, the screen became cracked and she tried to get it fixed.
Microsoft says they do not even carry spare parts for it, NO chance of
repair, toss it and get a new one And no, they won't do a discounted
exchange or even let her pay for repair, they do not have spare parts.
150 for the box, I think not having spare parts violates a law somewhere
but what do I know.
I know I'll never buy one, that's for sure
In other news it appears Sony has learned from past mistakes. In the war
between Sony's Blue-Ray and the competitor Hi-DVD. Blue Ray is winning,
And the deciding factor is the number of movie houses (IE: MGM) that
have decided to throw all their sup****t (Release all their titles) on
Blue Ray and not HI-DVD
This is good
