DLF addict Registered: 24/07/2003 Posts: 500 Loc: Colorado, N.A.	For those who haven't already noticed, all the new Rio players, including the heretofore officially unannounced Eigen "Executive" (all-metal version of Nitrus) and Karma 40GB, now can be pre-ordered at JandR.com Amazon, Best Buy and Circuit City are apparently still working on it. _________________________ -- DLF

DLF addict Registered: 24/07/2003 Posts: 500 Loc: Colorado, N.A.	The Audio guy at CNet Reviews has weighed in with a pretty accurate comparison chart of the players. The only error I could find was calling Karma "Windows only," but is it OK to mention the "Cool Unannounced Feature"? _________________________ -- DLF

Now I post this it doesn't do it! Anyway, when I moused over it, it copied itself to the right, and kept doing it whenever I moused in and out. I did it until I got a page of links!

I'm on Safari now (a first. i'm no mac zealot. yet) so I can't tell if it's still happening. I suspect it's fine to mention it. Anyone reading the board carefully could figure it out a month or two ago, Mike has described it in much better detail, and the empeg guys brought it up on slashdot. I just didn't want to be the person to provide the initial discription. Matthew

DLF addict Registered: 24/07/2003 Posts: 500 Loc: Colorado, N.A.	Well, the 20GB is listed as early Sept., and I'm expecting the 40GB something like 4-6 weeks after that (somebody said Oct. 17, but I'm not sure where they got anything that exact). _________________________ -- DLF

At first I was going to ask why you would want to pay NY state and city sales tax, but I looked up your account information again. I understand now... I still think that if Rob can pull off the group buy, you will be better off. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
