Hmm, yes, the problem did bug me for a day, and it was something I never expected – but other than that, I’m happier with the Zune than with any other MP3 player I’ve ever used – including a 3rd gen iPod that I sold off within two months of buying because it was just so goddamn painful to use. The best part is that Microsoft actually bothers to remember users of past generations of the Zune, and makes all their firmware upgrades backward compatible! Best $96 I ever spent on a gadget…

Actually, he does have a clue. It’s a leap year issue. Apparently, Microsoft couldn’t see that one coming.

I blame it on that extra second.

“You would expect a problem of this sort would manifest itself at midnight on New Years Eve, not the night before.”

Sure, you might expect that if you didn’t have a clue about these kinds of issues. If you don’t understand “problems of this sort” you probably shouldn’t comment on them.
