[Christopher Bruinenberg <chbruin7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,
I  cant answer your question about rockbox because i don't use it.  I've 
been very happy with the apple fermware.
In the itunes store the purchasing of a track is very easy.
You have to set it up but its ratherh easy.
go to the itunes store, then press tab to get to the edit field.
then type in a search.
press tab to get to the list, i think tab twice.
then you will have to use your jaws curser to look for the price.  then 
use your arrow key to the right tap it twice. then you need to press     
al+shift+t.  this will set the track position.
hope this helps,  also they have a demo that works for ten minutes.
and if you need help i can help you.  just email me off list and I can 
try and help.
