DriRiver

My iRiver MP3 player "was thirsty" on Monday night (to use a phrase from the Faceoff Hockey Show's glossary) ... meaning I dropped it in a sink of water. The display went a bit funky, then really dark, so I just turned it off. I probably should have consulted the instruction manual first, which told me to leave it running. After it didn't come back on later that night, or Tuesday, I expected the worst: iRiver death ... by drowning!

Thankfully I caught a lucky break and yesterday morning, my beloved iRiver was back and playable again! Sweet, sweet joy! By my calculations of the displayed out-of-date time, it stopped for 16 hours, but it still managed to remember where I stopped playing. I'm glad to have my music players (iRiver and laptop) working fully again after a couple of scares in recent weeks. It's a little easier for me to accept the loss of my crappy old phone than my expensive and highly used equipment.

Plus now I don't need to go to JB and pretend it broke by itself; I'm such a horrible liar. For $500, it's worth still trying your horrible liar routine anyway.
