You don't have, at this point, any bargaining power. Exactly. Too late for me that i bought their @#$@#$ hardware. Nevertheless, it's never too late to sell that damn thing.

Fernando, statements like these are starting to offend me. Look, a customer-company relationship is DIFFERENT. And concerning hatefilled arrogant agressive horrible insults that are going nowhere. Iriver. 2 years ago, their forums were FILLED with posts along the lines: F**K YOU IRIVER. or NEVER EVER. Just because of Ogg Vorbis. Result? Almost every product can handle vorbis files. http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS5968727553.html And this is not the only *thing* we *should* fight for. Try to search for linux sources on irivers website. Try to find them on Hartmanns website although they have been *told* to comply with GPL (let's not discuss this, look for thread called 'linux audio and breach of GPL' in the archives, it's very well explained there). So.... So a few guys here are unwillingly or even unknowingly defending the freedom of choice of companies that don't allow us to buy and/or use their products that we actually *want* to pay or already paid for. Guys, this is sick. I feel lost and lonely. And so i won't argue about that anymore. Period. Marek
