Quick question, where can I get free cigar boxes?

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

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

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

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

Zunes are quiet innovative when it comes to sucking :P
yanksguy in reply to cornflakerNov 27, 2011. 8:53 AM
iPods have an suckage app you can download.
Solderguy in reply to cornflakerJan 30, 2009. 12:25 AM
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 in reply to SolderguyJul 18, 2009. 1:41 AM
iPod, not Ipod, iPod
tevers94 in reply to SolderguyMay 8, 2009. 1:13 PM
zunes still suck
cornflaker in reply to SolderguyJan 30, 2009. 9:06 PM
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)
