How happy can a new gadget make you When I first opened it, there was no one to talk to but the 
So I was going through all the special stuff with her
Look! No switchy, press me buttons, it's touch screeny stuff *listens to the "oooh"s*
Watch me, watch me! *lightly presses down button and scroll bar highlights lots of special things*
And look! *goes in box* It's got a casey thing! Ooooh and here! *fishes clippy thing that fits on back of casey thing* And that's not all there's another accessory that clips on the back so it stands up! *charges shiny machine whilst it's stood up*
Hello little machine!
Oh yeah! One more thing, watch it as it charges, look carefully....see that? As it charges the light gets brighter and then fades out, like a pulse. It's alive!!! Alive I tell you! I'm going to call it Maurice
All this happiness from a teeny mp3 player I've just won

And it's got a removable E:!
Which...sounds lovely, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it
*watches the pulse*

A removable E? 
They're giving away free drugs with mp3 players these days?

You mean it shows up as Removable Disk (E
? You simply drag your music into it, or neatly arrange it into folders. Then when you unplug it it'll show all the music in the folders
It also means you can use your mp3 player to cart stuff other than music about with you

*Is dead jealous, as his four year old 20GB Archos Jukebox mp3 player is on its last elbows*

Not only did I get a free mp3 player, but yes, I got a small bag with lots of tiny s in it
Which is the main cause of my euphoric happiness.

I can't remember, I was drunk when I entered it
It was on channel 4 at about 2 in the morning last week. All I know is that the answer was Bloc Party.
When the woman rang me up to tell me I'd won, I had to ask her what the competition was because I couldn't remember even entering it

Umppph! *pulls face* I can't work out how to drag a load of music into the thing

I'd assume you just treat it like it were another hard drive on your computer

Zak T Duck Posted May 25, 2005
I wonder if my 20GB one will work properly as a portable mp3 player rather than a mains powered usb hard disk if I put a fresh set of Ni-MH batteries in there. They've been in for going on for four years now.
