I got annoyed with 'Ask Jeeves' once. I typed in 'Are you thick?' after having no luck with the questions that I asked it.A reply came back, 'Thick is as thick does'

Reminds me of the classic search (and I cannot remember which search engine it is) for "French Military Victories"... the response comes back "Do you mean French military defeats?"

Welcome Coops, good to see you. Clap
 
Sony have back-tracked on the mp3 issue, perhaps they'll release firmware upgrades sometime so you can play mp3 without converting them, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath...
 
 
I managed to find a guy with Admin rights to his computer so I loaded the software and a few mp3 files to his PC.

Trust me, you would be. I watched these people on telly every week when I was at school. As someone said on the BBC web site today, hearing about Val and Pete shagging is like hearing about your mum and dad "doing it". You know they do, but that doesn't mean you want to hear about it.
