Nice!Either way it's a nice bonus. If they are hi-res it will help justify my Christmas gift to myself - a FiiO X3 II.
I'd hate to say that knowing COBOL dates a person... Then again, I remember the days before the Internet became popular, when I connected to Compuserve with my 1200 baud modem and also navigated it via the command line.I saw were some people were saying online that the FiiOs have a bit of a clunky interface. I've had a pretty good look at it and it kinda reminds me of my itty bitty Sandisk MP3 player. I come from the land of COBOL and command line programming so no interface is too clunky for me.
Yep, I was a COBOL programmer for 25 years. There are still jobs available if you know it and I'd probably take one if offered. Workin' the IT service desk now. One of my early online computer classes was on a Trash-80 Model 100 with an acoustic coupler. Snazzy.I'd hate to say that knowing COBOL dates a person...

I remember taking a computer course at university back in 1981, and we used a DEC PDP 1110 to learn how to program in BASIC. If I remember correctly, that machine had a 20 MB hard drive with removable platters, and a 9 inch floppy drive. We all sat at printing consoles with a big box of fanfold paper underneath. When the computer overheated, an alarm went off, and we all had to vacate the room while the instructor opened the windows.They actually were a blistering 300 baud. Seems odd that my phone now has more computing power than the entire computer room did when I started here. In 1984 we had 7 DEC systems powered by J-11 processors, 8 washtub drives, two HP 3000 Series III, 6 washtubs for those, 3 reel-to-reel drives, and 2 Texas Instruments printing consoles - lots of fun!
It sure makes one feel old before our time sometimes Doesn't It?
Boy, do I feel like a dummy. Got Windows and the SD cards all copacetic but the FiiO was refusing to recognize the SD card. I had a 128 (and downloaded formatting software to get Win 7/8 to play nice with it) that works with the computer but not with the FiiO. OK, let's try a 32. Same thing. Let's format on the FiiO and load the card with Win 7. Same thing. Watched a couple YouTube videos and it turns out I have the SD card in the device wrong. Well duh. After I get back to the device and try to put it together correctly I may be able to get it to work.
Tell me about it. Today I found a launcher for my phone that was designed to use very large icons. The scary part is that I almost downloaded it!Stupid tiny card. Stupid tiny instructions - gettin' to where I need the large print version.
