Monday, October 01, 2007  Zune! Big and buggy, but I think
better  I've been getting a lot of new toys lately. I still love
my new Dell desktop and new laptop, and I'm now enjoying my new
Zune. My 2-gig Sandisk e250 has gotten a little beat up after
being dropped so many times, and I wanted something with more
space. Now, the Zune is really big, and I ordinarily wouldn't
have paid the regular $200 retail price, but I couldn't resist's
recent offer of white Zunes for $130 each. That deal has since
passed. My friend Charlie told me some time ago about Woot,
which offers one product every day (resetting at midnight
Central Time) at a usually fantastic price. Check as soon as you
can, because there's only a limited supply of whatever it is,
and at these prices, popular things like Zunes, Bluetooth
earpieces and high-end home theatre speakers will sell out
within hours.  If I could improve the Zune, I'd add a rotating
volume wheel just inside the controls, like Sandisk's e line,
but the Zune's volume still adjusts
