It is funny how many of us almost had something working before we bought our empegs. I had a PowerMac 6100 set up with some elaborate AppleScripts for voice recognition and a keypad for basic control that I never quite finished because I didn't want to spring for a DC-DC power supply and some sort of keypad when I broke down and bought a MP Shuttle which served me in a more or less acceptable fashion until my number came up for an empeg.

Oh, and I love this quote from Rob in that thread...

I don't think it'll take much longer before people work out that a minidisc player is much better value than a solid-state MP3 walkman, and then technology will progress.

I don't think that ended up quite the way he thought
