Are all the MS Zunes dying?

Re:Are all the MS Zunes dying? by ratsbane on Wednesday December 31, 2008 @11:56AM (#415633)

  AT AN early morning hour
  On the last night of the year
  The Zune did sit and cower
  For it knew its end was near

  The Zune was cold and tired
  And although it was un-wired
  It had no friends to squirt
  No friends to be inspired
  And it feared the end would hurt

  But when the clock ticked "Two"
  A byte did move; a bit was flipped
  The program shuddered; then it tripped
  The old brown Zune was through

  Thirty gigabytes are soon made full
  Thirty gigabytes are what it's got
  Thirty gigabytes are quite a lot
  Thirty gigabytes of cotton wool

  The Zune has passed; it took a fall
  The music's stopped
  the stock has dropped
  It never "Played for sure" at all

  We wonder where is Balmer
  And imagine that he's ranting
  And raving at his crew
  They wish he would be calmer
  And stop his sweaty panting
  Oh look! He's thrown his shoe!

  12pm day before New Years
  My zune resets in the dark
  The loading bar
  Logo screen is freezing
  My music is sleeping
  I am numb
 
  Press up and back it isn't working
  It just lies there on the couch
  Microsoft went down to Charlotte
  They're not home to fix this bug
  And we wait
  For the next bugfix
  I'm feeling more alone
  Than I ever have before
 
  It's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
  My zune's a ghost and I'm headed nowhere
  It's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
 
  I call tech support at 12:30
  I pace around phone lines are busy
  Then I plug it in nothing happens
  This shitty gift that I got
  Can't you see
  It's not me you're dying for
  Now I'm feeling more alone
  Than I ever have before
 
  It's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
  My zune's a ghost and I'm headed nowhere
  It's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
 
  As Hours went by
  It showed that it was not fine
  They told me, "son, it's time to tell the truth"
 
  It broke down, and I broke down
  Cause I was tired of waiting
  Let the power drain
  For the moment we're alone
  Yeah Its alone
  I'm alone
  Now I know it
 
  It's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
  My zunes a ghost and I'm headed nowhere
  It's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

PS: huge apologies to Ben Folds for this irreverence.
