Oh, and my Zen now supports via firmware update Audiable format (Books on
tape. Err Books on MP3 Players). I do not use it, but it is there.

Now if only the players were supported on something other than Windows -I've
yet to run into one that is. My previous MP3 player could do WMA, but I
couldn't get it to work on my desktop under Linux and BSD nor on my OS X
laptop.
My Creative Zen Micro will play WMA & MP3's. Read the specs on them. I do
not see why they would only support WMA unless they are cheap. Also
royalties have to be paid for MP3 support and not WMA.
A lot of their Mac software isn't good. Logically, they focus on Windows
versions. I'd do the same in their shoes.
Yes, I hear their office suite only has a word proc and presentation no db
of spreadsheet app.
I was *just* talking to my mom about Microsoft before I came back into my
room. In the last few years, Microsoft has stopped seeming so evil.
Apple...I'm kind of worried about them.
Yes, that are not as evil.
Does it? I've not heard of any successful runs, only people frying their
EFI (~BIOS) by trying.
Correction I think it is the next version of Vista or something but the RTM
is supposed to.
I've got a friend running it on a self-built x86 box.
Yes you can, but it is not legal, so technically it does not count in the
discussion.
Linux runs fine on this if I didn't want to run OS X, FreeBSD 6 either runs
well or is close to running well on it. :-)
You sure could. But do you see an novice to average person touching Linux
right now? They eithe go Win of Mac. I am sure there are some exceptions.
Oh, and thanks for all your help. Grandma's iMac is perrring very nicely.
