Don't buy Sony kit (Score 1)

I bought a sony minidisc player a few years ago. It was a lovely bit of kit in the era before iPods, which allowed you to transfer mp3's onto minidisc. Unfortunatly the incredibly buggy (windows only) software and associated DRM crud that provided the interface between it and my pc completely crippled it to the extent that I got rid of it as soon as possible. I vowed never to give sony my hard-earned again. So far I've stuck to it, which has probably cost them in the region of £2000 based on various gadget and electronic equipment purchases I've made since.
