Nah. I was just amused at my comparison being called a stretch while no one said anything about Tom's. :) But I don't think mine was really far off the mark anyway. In both cases the issue was a server problem, unrelated to any problems in the products themselves. Tom was trying to make this into a problem with Windows 7, which it clearly is not. > Turning a little more serious again, while Tom may just possibly > be a wee bit extreme in comparing the Zune Dec 31 problem to > a crashing jumbo jet, one of the articles I read reported on a DJ > who uses his Zune for his engagements and lost the use of it on > what was quite possibly his biggest gig of the year.

I just don't think it was prima facie evidence of MS's utter incompetence, as Tom would have it. Stuff happens, and has happened to Apple as well, no matter what you do. You try to avoid it, but you don't always succeed. When MS fails, it's evidence that MS is a bunch of idiots; when Apple fails, well, it isn't. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
