Cesar OTG (off the grid) August 7-27

Starting Tuesday of next week, I'll be off the grid for three weeks. During that time, I'm going to put Zuneinsider on pause - with no posts, and no comments being published until I'm back. Look out for NMF tomorrow, and a NYC BBQ recap by Monday. And when I'm back, I'll be a married man! 

:)

Most Awesomest

Thom

Cesar, I have been married for over 20 years(to the same woman) I wish you all the best and hope that 20 years from now you too can look back and say "Wow, how did 20 years get by us like that, with only the very occasional misunderstanding and with only the very rarest of arguments?"

I will miss the NMF's for a couple of weeks, but think I can probably find my way to some of those common sites without you until you return.

Most Awesomest

Cesar, have you read this article?

http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/03/how-would-you-change-the-microsoft-zune/

Ignoring the people who've never used one and say to disscontinue it, someone posted that compatability with WMP11 would be a great idea.

I have to completely agree. Because it uses less resources and I just overall like it better. I'm not asking you guys to make it compatible cause I doubt that would ever happen, but I wanna ask

why? Why is it not compatible?? I'd love to use WMP with my Zune.

Eric John

Congrats Cesar!  I'm gonna go a little nuts over here in Afghanistan without ZI but I'll make do.  Have a great break and again, CONGRATS!!!

BJ Nemeth

Congratulations, and have a great time!
