That is certainly a point, but I don't think one should compare directly with the bottom dwellers to make the point that you can get something worse for more money, thereby implying that the supposed top product is the bee's knees - even if the price is about the same. Hell, I can propably get diamond crusted iPod Touch. Although, I do still

[quote user="Karel Uyttendaele"] True for iPhone/iPod That's why the iPad (or any other device with a descent screen) is perfect... almost the same screen size as the BS5; so a little adaptation and the UI could be running on the iPad/tables...

That's not foolish. I still sometimes think "analogue", as I learned to edit on reel-to-reel recorders and used analogue recorders out in the field. Analogue is much more intuitive, digital not so much. Hell, I still say "I'm taping this interview" when doing phone interviews, even if "record" would be more accurate

[quote user="elephant"] well you managed to confuse me ! but then that is easily done elephants struggle to keep up with tree frogs ! [/quote] It's just that if either one of them has a 24bit volume control, that one will keep much more of the available bits in the original song.
