ooh, that one looks sleeker than mine, but still has the aforementioned scrollywheel. i got mine last christmas, and it is wider looking. if you get this one, please post and let us know whether you like it! and again, i thoroughly recommend the red chair software 'dudebox' interface software over the included musicmatch crap. musicmatch is fine for ripping, but terrible for management. -rachel -- [gilmore] i think Kerry could win if he just promised to get Halo2 out on time. http://piesarenice.net funkier than you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
