Zune, epic success

jewbus · 04-06-2008, 11:14 AM

A few months ago, we found out I have cancer. I received a feel good gift of a brand new Zune 80. I was a little bit weirded out by it since I was so used to my Toshiba Gigabeat running Rockbox, but as soon as it came (they ordered it online and had it engraved for me) I was blown away. This player was so much fun. I immediately synced up my 11,000+ track library and grabbed an RCA cable from my old camera (If you plug the red into yellow, yellow into white, and white into red it works perfectly, I think they scramble them so that you have to buy a Zune cable).
I took it to school and started to show it off to my friends. Everyone I know was blown away by the huge screen and wireless sending, and general sexy look of the Zune.
A few months later, almost all of my friends have sold off their iPods for Zunes. The social at my school is amazing! At any given time, you can find a minimum of four or five Zunes in a class. They have become the biggest trend in the school, and it's amazing to see how fast they've blown up and how many Zunes there are. I love my player.

I'm glad you're enjoying your Zune. Kudos for converting your school.

That's amazing. I caught a few people listening in class too. My school is still iPod-dominant, but a lot of other players are showing up, especially Zunes.

So why does it say you are a Zune 80 owner? Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy the Zune 80. It's an excellent MP3 player.
