Quick question, where can I get free cigar boxes?

[Retro Correct]

Any place that mainly sells cigars will have a bunch of boxes for around a dollar.

[Wasagi]

 Aww yeah, 30 Gb Zune! I love mine to death, it may not look nice, but it works so smoothly.

[computer_gui]

Very cool. Even more cool because it houses a zune!

[Labot2001]

Zunes pwn iPods.

[ItsTheHobbs]

No they don't....... zunes suck.

[Phoghat]

Zunes do not suck, but having owned both I haveto say the iPod does pwn it

[Labot2001]

How can they suck? They lack lips.

[Warlrosity]

LOL! I love that! Haliroius! seriously,

[J@50n]

ipods r way better espically ipod touch! there is no zune touch is there now!

[guitarmonk15]

yes there is, it's the Zune HD

[cornflaker]

Zunes are quiet innovative when it comes to sucking :P

[yanksguy]

iPods have an suckage app you can download.

[Solderguy]

Yes, well, the Ipod sucked when it was released, so it'll be a few years until Microsoft is up to speed with new Zunes.

[Warlrosity]

iPod, not Ipod, iPod

[tevers94]

zunes still suck

[cornflaker]

Haha I was just joking as I haven't actually had the chance to even see a Zune in real life (I live in Australia) but I have to say thats a pretty bad excuse, I mean why wouldn't you stick to iPods until they become good? :P I have to say though that its cool how you can send songs but microsoft really screwed up with how you can only send samples and the other people have to buy the song. (But thats obviously because of legal issues)

[DAND]

hahaha, well I'm on the on side. I have a Sansa lol

[stitches22]

YES!!! ZUNE FTW!!!!!!!!! o yea and nice project

[Labot2001]
