If you like British humour, then you might like my favourite - Father Ted. All three series have been released on DVD.

Not sure where you saw that there was a difference, but the X1 and the Screenplay 4800 have the same resolution. The hardware is the same, there are only minor differences in their firmware.

Howard: I've had an X1 for about four months now, I'm way down in the south. I could probably be talked into a demo. The other possbility is buying one at Costco, they've been selling them for a while and with their excellent return policy, you'd have no problems with returning it if you...

No optical, just firewire 400 and the third gen ones also have USB 2. If you want to attach them to a amplifier, you'd have to use a 3.5mm to RCA adapter. Keep in mind that this is compressed music and will have a noticeable sound degradation in many cases. I use mine mainly when walking, on the...

I got it from Dell small business, but I had to call the order in because their online system wouldn't take an order from Canada. Some reps are better than others, you may have to call a few times to get them to take the order... They may not have 20GB models anymore, but I've seen posts...

Personally, I don't think any of the iPod's competition can come close to it... Especially if you have an iTunes compatible Mac. It is just so well thought out and the user interface is quite good as well. I bought a second generation 20GB iPod about 6 weeks ago for $279 US shipped, about...
