Wise words from George

Published May 23, 2005

I sadly mourn the passing away of my Sony Minidisc player, a problem with the laser mechnism has now stopped it recording properly, so it is pratically useless now. Sony want over £100 to repair it, however I know that it’ll fail again in another two years, and you can get a second hand one off eBay for £40.

So this has led me ever further down the road towards an iPod, however, the super small size and weight of a minidisc player, not to mention it’s impressive battery life of over one hundered hours (with the battery pack) is incredibly alluring. Getting a decent new minidisc player/recorder now is not too costly, around £100 for a new top of the range Sony HI-MD. But as they say, once bitten, twice shy, or in the words of George Bush:

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice… you ain’t gonna fool me again.

I will not be buying another Sony portable device for some time. So, a 30GB iPod Photo is is. Now, to get the money…

    I actually started to write three or four posts, but I decided they were all crap. I’m working on one now, if you’re that eger… ;)

    Hey Weiran, long time no see

    Hey Scott, sorry I haven’t had a chance to reply to your e-mail yet, I’ve been very busy these past few days (which also explains the slow movement of this blog). We should meet up again, us Physics guys.
