Yeah, but the thing is, you didn't disprove what I said about mp3 players.
iPod may very well be a ripoff. BUT, it made mp3 players popular.

Why do I have to disprove that? All I said was that the iRiver isn't a ripoff.

Well I'm used to you constantly insulting technology for being a brand you don't like, so I thought you were saying (in different words) "iPods ripped off mp3 players".

Happy now?

| Doesn't that mean either creative rips off microsoft, or vice versa? I don't see you complaining about them. |

His mind blocks out anti-windows waves.
Then converts them to anti-apple waves and releases them at the first topic he sees mentioning apple.

| My dad went to an apple store and said that they made a crappy product infront of everyone, and the manager. Everyone was shocked, and they were all apolizing for his behavior. My dad meant it, but he mainly did it cause there was a 2 hour wait and he wanted to get servace faster. |

no, they stole the menu system from Creative and the playlisting system from Microsoft.

Hey, Creative is a great, honest company. They invented Sound Blaster, which was one of the first sound cards to play digital sound. The cards also included a joystick port, and later cards made it possible to install a CD-ROM drive in the computer.
Don't you DARE knock Creative.
And Microsoft... Microsoft is...
...
well, they're better than Apple.
