	I've got a 660 and love it, it has a few problems, but nothing
that other 660 owners haven't experienced (skipping on certain CD's,
freezing up.) It's such a small percentage of what I've played on it, that
it's not a big deal, and is covered under warranty with a BIOS upgrade. 
	That being said, I'm looking at the 1500 myself, or maybe the
740(?) which is under $80 here and still has all the features I need/want.
