Re: TI-H: empeg player




"OUR" MP3 player? Whats that? You built an mp3 player? Take some snapshots
of its LCD screen.... I am curious... Besides, at $900 it is very good.
Why? It fscking runs linux. Having said that, you could have GPS's, email,
fsck... even browse the web. heh... Basically for $900 you get a laptop in
your car. I'd go with the laptop, except not many laptops are able to run
linux. I'll bet you love WinCE devices too?
