As an early adopter of the Zune 80gb ... Hardware and OS - brilliant, beutiful - desktop software one of the worst packages I have ever seen.
And the added thrill that there is no good way to see the HD as such from a computer and if you get a bad sector there is no way to fix it ( without completely voiding warantee, taking the thing apart and brute-force fixing the HD ) So, I have an 80gb Zune with about 1.5 gb actual capacity since it can't get past the bad sectors (probably caused by dropping it)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
