[lbo-talk] Jobs, inventor of portable mp3 music. ;)

[Mark Bennett]

I bought a 30g NOMAD way back in the early 00s.  It was recommended by the
folks at Headroom.com as having superior sound to the iPod, and Apple's
celebrated user-friendly, intuitive technology certainly had nothing on
Creative's;  the NOMAD's documentation was so poorly drafted that is was
useless; however, the device and its software were a snap to use. It was a
little bigger than the iPod, and a lot cheaper.  It worked great for about 4
years, then just quit.  I was done with portable music players by that time,
so no great loss.
