• Rick,
  Regarding the buy a Dell laptop and get a Mini9 for $99: After 30 minutes on the phone, I was told: The cheapest qualifying laptop is the Studio 15 costing $949. Your "in theory" was aptly chosen as Dell has loaded the Studio 15 to achieve it's required margins. The base price is $649 for the "15," but no deal on the Mini 9. According to the Dell sales rep., a lot of folks read your blog entry and gave them a call. Bait and switch? No, just a lack of detail from Dell's blog and your article.
  
  BTW: I logged in for the fist time with my email address and user name (mudwart) but the note at the top of this page indicates I'm logged in as "SightlessOldFoggie, e.g., don't blame him for my statements.
  
  Best regards,

• Jasmine,
  Your comment about "people who are getting older and may have failing eyesight." deserves a reply. Have you totally forgotten younger and middle aged people that may have failing eyesight? What about kids that can't see well? Where are your concerns for animals, left handed people, and underhanded people with seeing difficulties? Why make the Zune a product for the elderly? You could have settled for visually impaired people. No, you tagged the getting older set . Poor choice! In reply to: "Best MP3 players and product life cycles--Ask the Editors"
