Ahhhh... there you go again... coming up with facts that don’t exist.

Or like this?
“Who Invented the MP3 Player?
Officially, a German company called Fraunhofer-Gesellshaft is responsible for developing and putting the MP3 player on the market. In 1987, Karlheinz Brandenburg, a specialist in electronics and mathematics, led research at the Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Shaltungen Research Center. He, along with Bernhard Grill, Thomas Sporer, Bernd Kurten and Ernst Eberlein are credited on the patent for the MP3 player”

Oops!
I don’t see Apple’s name being mentioned there.

You were saying ...

“Who Invented the MP3 Player?

Well, I know who made it "work" ... LOL ... and who sells a "bundle" of them... :-)

And that's exactly what Apple does... make things work the way that the consumers want. It's amazing that with the technology that is right at the hands of all the other manufacturers -- they just can't figure out what Apple has down pat.

The consumers know it, they buy it and the ole "MP3" player is "history" -- with the Apple iPod... doncha know....

Thanks goodness for Apple... where would we be without them and their fine MP3 player, the iPod... :-)
