As a matter of fact, Best Buy owns Futureshop. If you're in Canada, I suggest you shop at your local computer dealer and not a big chain, I've found much better service at the little guy stores. The ones in my city have the same prices, better accessories/ peripherals, and better advice.

It will not be a major problem not having internet, but rockbox is dynamic.  Whenever a change is committed to the source code the SVN files change.  To make your local files match SVN again, you need to run "svn update".  This won't work without internet.  I normally update once or twice a week.  Like I said, its not a major problem.  Your code will compile just fine, and any changes you make will work fine, but if your code gets too old and then you update you might run into some problems with patches and such.

But the big stores have good sales and discounts more often, which is why I got that stuff for so cheap.

Ontopic: Compiling rockbox without internet would be a hassle because you will need to download SVN snapshots and patches on a computer with internet and then move them to your compiling computer. If a patch doesn't work you're going to have to run down two floors to see if there's a new version, etc.

 :D I can only imagine what that would be like, I've had patches fail on me so many times. I guess, if you were good at coding it wouldn't matter, if a patch didn't apply correctly you could  just sync it.

 Hey, to answer some more questions...

1- I really don't have ten bucks to buy a cheap card...
2- I don't live in Canada. U.S. of A where everythings more expensive! :D
3- I got VMWare, so it's all good. Thanks everyone for trying to help. If you guys can now give me some tips for using VMware. Evilg, you can probably help me a lot, since VMware is basically a linux emulator.

Anothr thing, I need help with the simulator. I need a link to download one ('cause I know there is one, forgot where)

And I have trouble getting it to work. whenever I try to play music, use Rockboy, or play Doom, it crashes. Any help, please?
