Captain Ned wrote:Drive-in...not something I've though about (then again, the only one near my hometown closed down several years ago). I might have to look into that and rope some friends into an outing.(hoping for good drive-in weather this weekend, 'cause this IS a drive-in movie)

Captain Ned wrote:I've got a couple of dead 120GB disk-based models, but the HDs just seem to keep on chooglin'. I even know how (and have the requisite tools for) to replace the battery when it stops holding a charge. That said, it doesn't get a whole lot of portable use these days and usually just pumps tunes to the car stereo or the office headphone rig, both of which I can keep on cord. Daughter's is holding on strong as well. MS built these things well. I've opened daughter's up once, and the damn thing has a cast magnesium frame that withstood being rolled over by a car without deforming.
