The only place to buy them now is off of this forum or ebay. Not many people are selling them now, we're hoarding the ones we have.

I don't think he was serious (re-read the post) but it wasn't like he was funny either.

Oh well, I always enjoy reading posts from people who take the time to register on the forum and then post some stupid message. Although most people make a bit more of an effort with the flame-bait...

Hardi-har-har...

I assume you mean the two 192.168 addresses he has listed in the image you so maturely altered? If you knew anything about the internet you'd know that 192.168.x.y addresses are private and don't get routed outside the intranet they exist on. Therefore any 192.168 address can exist in any number of intranets without conflict.

Then something is broken at your end as the link works for me.

However, the "software" and "links" links on his homepage are broken, but those aren't what you were talking about.

At least I've got two empegs, oh, and by the way. The website chronicles my mpeg player I built at university. The escort was my car at uni. I'm currently waiting for my BMW I ordered whilst I drive my RS2000!

I think owning 2 empeg's is a good thing - can't imagine what it would be like being without one now.

Go troll somewhere else. I'd suggest Slashdot, but they've already got enough Trolls.

I'd encourage Tony to lock threads like this one, before brain dead morons get the idea that anyone finds them funny. I'm not too concerned about censorship - if a bad decision were made then lots of people would voice their concern and I'm certain Tony would respect that (or we'd replace him *evil laugh*)

I'd encourage Tony to lock threads like this one, before brain dead morons get the idea that anyone finds them funny.

I'm not clear on what this character has done wrong? He's simply asked two appropriate questions: Where can I get a really cheap empeg player, and why would someone want to own more than one?

Sure, he's been rude and used poor spelling while doing it, but I think those are valid (if clueless) questions and they deserve to be answered before we discount him as being just a troll.

I'll answer them here:

1) You can't get a cheap empeg player. They are worth over a thousand dollars each, and if you're lucky, you might be able to snag one for several hundred on Ebay. Yes, they are truly worth that much, ask anyone who's owned one for any length of time.

2) The reason for owning more than one player is if you have more than one car, if you want to use one as a dedicated home player, or if you want a backup unit in case your primary unit fails or is lost/destroyed (since they are no longer made).

Now, I will say this to the LyingBastardMF: Please be polite and don't flame on this bulletin board. We're trying to weed out the bad apples, please don't try to be one of them.

And to everyone else: Stop feeding the trolls!

Not sure what you mean by the icon bit. I don't think there is a manual for the v2.00 beta series out at the moment because somebody mentioned in the past that it contained some information about an unreleased product. Which means they can't give out the manual yet. It's not hard to use anyway
