The class is full! That's great news for education about Free Software. The class limit is higher than it was supposed to be, so there are still a few extra slots left. Sign up now if you want to take the class.

The Insignia Pilot is a great, little portable music player that does ogg vorbis and has bluetooth!

At the end of 2006 I went into Best Buy with a few storage devices with ogg vorbis and flac tracks on them. I tried several units in the car audio system and found only one that played the ogg vorbis tracks on every medium it could use. It turned out to be the house brand, Insignia NS-C5111, which plays ogg vorbis off CD, USB thumb drive and SD card. Outstanding. I bought it and had Best Buy install it.

Ran into a cool introduction for sed.
