not a hint
Authored by: Mr. X on Jan 31, '03 04:56:00PM

I do agree that we don't really need sarcasms here. But at the same time I really don't think that qualifies as a hint. It's just basic functionality.

I try my best; I guess I should have held off until I could have found someone with an iPod to tell me this was basic stuff ;-). You win some, you lose some. Hopefully I get more right than I get wrong...

But I do appreciate this hint. Thanks for posting it.

I never realized this! And I've had my iPod for over a year. This is a big help to me as I listen to a number of audio books. Do you know how much of a pain it is to get back to your spot using the buttons after you hit the "back" button when you're half way through an 8 hour book. It takes like 20 minutes.

If you say that this isn't a hint because it's "basic functionality", you make almost any hint invalid. To a Unix expert, editing one of your config files (or whatever you call them!) in vi or pico is "basic functionality". I still don't know how to do it very well, so it's very valuable to me.

The mere fact that several people posted saying they'd had iPods for awhile, and didn't know about this "basic functionality", proves my point.

And as someone said above, just ignore it and move on to the next "real" hint if you already know it. No need to get all pompous about it!

Peace,
John-o
