Michael... Could the Creative Zen be a healthy alternative to the IPod?...
I've read many many good things about them... Yesterday I was "lusting" over
one at Best Buy... 40g $269... Only drawback I've heard upon visiting Zen
reviews on the net is that it's a bit more bulkier than the slim IPod but
the reviews are more than favorable... (I also saw a slim Phillips model 20g
for $249... half the space than the Zen... nicer looking tho'...slim;
black....)  Any Zen owners out there?

Cheers

Miguel
