Haha! Was looking up info on the net....

And stumbled across the wikipedia, mainly because I wanted to see what the different Archos mp3 players were, and found this little line about the Jukebox 6000:

"The Jukebox is historically notable for shipping with a user interface and operating system so unfriendly and bug-ridden as to inspire Björn Stenberg and other programmers to begin to develop a superior, open-source replacement operating system. This project became Rockbox."

Now if that ain't the ultimate "stick it to the system" statement, what is.

This has absolutely nothing to do with rockbox and shouldn't be posted. The forum should have a unrelated board or soemthing.

Actually, this is in the General Rockbox Discussion forum. Since this is an issue of Rockbox in the Press (as it were) and does in some way relate to the presence of Rockbox on the internet, while it's not strictly topical to what the forums are for, it doesn't actually break any explicit rules (and if it does, it's only because the rules weren't written clearly enough, as they were written by humans, and we're capable of making mistakes.)

While off-topic discussion is not favored, threads pointing out the presence of Rockbox on the 'net are actually helpful in some ways (for example, several times I've had to correct the wikipedia article on Rockbox itself, or write minor corrections to CNET articles on the project).

gravedigg154, please.  This post is obviously related to Rockbox.  Please do not abuse the "report post" function.

I do find the signature of the OP somewhat vulgar.
