Not good. I am on vacation with my two kids and they both have Zune 30's. I haven't fired them up for three days, but it will be a long plane ride home if they don't work. I am scared to turn them on. I think I will wait to see if there is a fix before I do!

Well, damn you Susan :-)  Of course I had to grab my trusty old Brownie and fire it up after reading this.  Now it's locked up so at least the story is true...

Your tongue is not worthy to utter the name of one such as Steve Ballmer (Bless on him)! But I shall answer dis question! You see the Zune is the most sophisticated device ever created by man! It was programed with sooooo very many features that even the whole of Microsoft cannot remember them all! What other device that pretends to compete with the Zune has such a feature? A self-improvement-vacation day mode? NONE! None I tell you! You all should bow and kiss Mr Ballmer's naked unwashed feet and praise the fates that such a one as he even bothers to explain anyting at all to your most unworthy selves!
