Joe Wilcox > OK, so I had no idea! With Zune Originals, Microsoft offers original artwork engraved on the back for free. What a deal! But, during purchase process, the artwork is not presented in color as it is in this cool, free poster. So not until today did I really understand my choice.
Joe Wilcox > Here is what the back of my Zune looks like. Please hold back any comments about the cutsie artwork. I like it. But there are important and subtle differences from the colored artwork poster. The eyes are filled in and so more vacant looking than in the engraving. The engraving is cute and haunting, which I like. The original artwork is just cute.
Joe Wilcox > Microsoft gets fine details right that Apple long ago forgot with iPod.
Joe Wilcox > Santa brought a new Zune 80, and one of the Originals engraved designs. For anyone singing Apple iPod praises, get a life! Microsoft put together a really great package.
Joe Wilcox > I tuned into Voice of Turkey while taking pictures, and suddenly I wanted to keep the radio. But we will be moving into  smaller living space. I've got to let the radio go. Sigh.
Joe Wilcox > I took this picture for posting on Craiglists list. We're thrifting, giving or selling most of our stuff before the big relocation.
Joe Wilcox > I uploaded this picture on Sept. 9, 2007, as we prepared to move across country. I dusted off my old short wave radio, the major means I got world news before the popularization of the Internet.
Joe Wilcox > I almost sold the radio two weeks earlier, but the Voice of America editor buyer found a problem with the synchronous detector. Apparently, there was a synch bug with first-generation Satellit 800 radios. I later tested the radio and uncovered occasional synch problems--nasty nail-on-chalkboard sounds--but intermittent.
