It\'s not that beer drinking has gone down, Vike, it\'s just that Ipod\'s are more universally excepted. The cool people still drink while listening to tunes, but now the geeks sitting at home have something to do besides surfing for porn.

No, they are not, just cooler looking. I have a pair of Archos drives that when I bought them held about twenty times more music then an Ipod, AND was able to hold all other types of data as well, being a portable HD
AND an MP3 player. I can just plug them into any computer and show everyone my vacation pics as well as listen to music.
On the down side, it was a bitch updating drivers, since at the time their website was ONLY in French! (That was about 4years ago).
EDIT: Out of curiousity I just went over to
their site and it IS in Englich now, but unfortunately they no longer sell the all-in-one products it seems. There is a description about the ones I have
here, and a pic/reveiw of the better one with a built-in screen for video
here. Bare in mind that this was over 4 years ago, so the 6G capacity was pretty sweet back then. It looks like Ipods might actually be better now, unless someone else is making a portable HD with a built-in MP3 player.
