Well and about the new product, any apinions? 

What i didn't get is how do you connect it to another amp, and use it only as a player. 

If you got a amp with no wireless, do I need a apple airPort? 

My opinion is that it is a cumbersome and basic version of the iPod Touch without the techy functionality. It does however, have a large HDD capacity and one would assume some sort of high level amplification if it can be plugged straight into normal speakers. Without the spec though, I'm just guessing.

Future iPod Touch models will no doubt soon include higher capacity SSDs.

Funny I didn't take it with the racist slant you did.......

Me neither. Just typically American (at least the ones i know/have met)

Rather differentiates from the African, Asian, Mexican and indiginous American Indian population though (amongst others). It's a bit too specific, I feel.

They didn't mention colour, you did.

Don't try to be clever, there's simply no requirement for the word "European" to be used in that context, it's the only inference you can draw.

Quote:

I'm sure there are plenty of Black & Asian people who were born in the vast expanse of the Europen union and class themselves as 'European'.

Of course they do but if they upped sticks and became American citizens (as these Germans apparently have done) they would be classified as African-Americans or Asian-American.

That's not exactly a glowing endorsement, have you seen how half of them vote? They nearly elected someone who believes in magic underpants...

Thanks. I like to start the day with a smile but that achieved the whole guffaw.

It's 9 inches around - the perfect size for a dog's dinner plate!

Not trying to be clever, just stating the facts. You was the one who plastered the typical do gooder response on here.

Oh yeah, if someone uses the phrase 'do gooder' against you it automatically means you've lost the argument. You should listen to more radio phone ins.

You should probably come up with a different name for them then...

Actually I was going to comment that you seem to have been in a particularly jolly mood of late and was wondering if you were full of festive cheer?  Smile
