Holy @#%$!

And to think all this time I've had to delete old records to clear up space on my hard drive to make room for newer ones...

Damn it I WANT ONE NOW!

Hmm... magnetic storage is a bit of a setback, but for all that space...

It's just $300 or $400...

...in US dollars of course. For us canadians, that would be $1,234,592.32 or something...

See, that's just what they want you to think!
You know, I had a friend try to prove a point to me which he believed was absolutely right; when something is $3.99, you say "it's 3 dollars", even though its 99% closer to 4 dollars.
So that should be corrected to

Re: 6 GB MP3 Player!

And BTW, 1 million dollars wouldn't be the Canadian cost...
If you want to be precise, then if it costs $399, it would be $665 in Canada. $499 would be $832.666666......
Ain't I annoying?

Wow! I have a 64mb Rio 500 player, which is dwarved by this thing. The Rio cost me $270, and this monster starts at $400!! That should be considered an amazingly cheap price for something so big.

that's not correct Niffi, the currencies at 7/31/00 were 1USD=1.4872CAD. so 399USD=593.39CAD and 499USD=742.11CAD

Yes but you forget to add to cost of importing these things here. That add to the price, so it might well get to what Niffiwan said
