With everyone buying Fringe I started to watch it on Netflix from the beginning. About 5 episodes in so far and correct me if I am wrong, this is like X-Files?
You have an FBI Agent, but with a genius and his dad investigating strange cases.
There is the supervisor to the Agent (why is he always bald?).
There is the seemingly evil cooperation in Massive Dyamics, which I guess is the long story arc.
There are various fillers in between, and conveniently all these people that popped up were linked to experiments the dad did some 17+ years ago!
Does it get any better?

Buying bargain (but good) books has been a bit of a hobby for me lately
I think myself and Cosimo are drug addicts to books at the moment

I rate it very highly, it plays all and everything I want it to. I don't want video or fancy bits and bobs. (Also can't afford them
)Layout is exceptionally easy to use (no need for manual easy), it connects like a USB drive so no fancy software etc. Battery is superb I've found, size is a major factor + it clips on (duh
) really nicely to things. Makes running a pleasure.Like others have said, a major strength is in it's acceptance of cards. Literally push in the side and thats it!
I was kind enough to have a friend who gave me an old 16gb, so I've instantly got a 20gb player! More than sufficient for me.
And who can forget the price? Got mine the other day for £27.50 brand new. (They come with headphones).
Well £17.50 considering I had found my £10 note. Noodles for a week and I'll be grand! ^^
Overall very chuffed. Makes all the difference listening to John Denver on the bus and wishing I was back home.
they're fantastic little players. with 32GB microSDHC cards for around 15 quid and the player costing 30-40 with 4-8GB internal storage, that's some serious capacity for the price.
for anyone that has one, i highly recommend installing the 3rd party firmware rockbox. it kicks all sorts of ass.

Nice one guys, ordered a 4GB blue one for the car
Will also use it for running in the summer when I've got no pockets for the phone!
What does the Rockbox firmware add?

It gets a lot better after Series 1.

My opinion would be the opposite. Season 1 was dross, and then it got worse.
I would choose Fringe over True Blood, random I know.
What is it?

It's a charcoal starter. So instead of putting it in the BBQ and having to wait an hour+ to get the coals ready. You can prepare coals in like 15mins in this and add to existing coals too.

My working drive had arrived!
Much better, Seaons 2 and 3 are the strongest with 5 being the weakest.
I think I really enjoyed Fringe due to the fact that the 'events' are based on actual science (Fringe Science). Season 1 just slowly introduced everyone and then Season 2 got epic. Stick with it and I promise you, you will be taken for an amazing ride. There are also some twists and whatnot and everything is not how it seems...
This was not bought, but a gift from the Applications Manager at work.
We help develop new circuits for the 3rd Gen Pi, so he gave me a 2nd gen to mess around on as we have loads of test units, pretty neat! gonna mess around with it this weekend.
