First, I think YOU NEED TO READ everything, instead of the usual variant of "look for yourself". I did read them all, and I DIDN'T jump in every time you make a post, but if you bother to research what happened, as typical, you make a smart ass comment, which you can deny was intended that way forever, but was exactly that. Then after a couple more attempts to defend it, others including me just can't, scratch that, just don't want to hold back any longer. I cannot think of any other list I am on where there is any let alone 1 specific person that seems to cause problems almost every time they contribute. As for the problem, sure someone ship me one of the old Archos v1s, and I will be glad to give it a shot. I don't think any of the 5 devices I have Rockbox on have a memory limitation close to that. I actually would love to try it to see what blind or visually impaired people have to put up with. I personally cannot imagine how frustrating or difficult it must be. Rockbox must be the best choice for an audio player, if not the only choice for them. You seem to be the one that degrades the conversation into name calling almost instinctively. And as for you calling me a fool, thank you. You could not have given me a better compliment, I would hope to be nothing else in your eyes. I have just now created an email rule on my pc that should prevent me, at least, from continuing this any longer. I will continue to read as I always have, and I plan on responding only on actual technical/helpful issues. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2009-10-01 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
