Hi!

I had to pay 250 Euro for an Archos JBR with 20 GB and I am happy with it, it
is about a year old and no problems until now, I flashed it several times and I
am using it nearly everyday.
For me it was worth the 250 Euros. (OK, I spent 25 Euros for other headphones -
I need the Sony 'Groove' headphones)

What does '...to have a short fixed' mean?
I don't know what they did but I think 110$ is a lot of money.

Have a nice day
Fred
