- I am not much of a sneaker (tennis shoes) person. I mainly buy Timberland boots. I bought a very nice pair of WHITE Timberland sneakers. What is the best to keep sneakers looking their whitest?- I have a Microsoft Zune and I absolutely LOVE it. The one drawback is that when I watch videos or look at pictures, I get a glare from the lights behind and above me. Does anyone know of a glare screen for the Zune player?- Also, my screen gets dirty, i guess from fingerprints and what not. Is it safe just to use regular glass cleaner on the Zune display or do I have to use something specific?- It took a long time for CDs to render cassettes obsolete and it took a long time for DVDs to render VHS obsolete. MP3s, and other downloaded audio media, is starting to render CDs obsolete. Does anyone have a thought to what will render DVDs obsolete?

For example, if I remember correctly, you DO NOT want to use Windex on an LCD screen. I believe the chemical in the Windex react with the screen material of LCD screens.As to a Zune, I don't know if they use glass or something else. You could just try a glasses cleaning cloth (i.e. no liquid). That would handle finger prints fairly well.

Aye a lot of glass cleaners eat away at the plastic screens of some units. This would be a nono if the Zune does indeed have a plastic display instead of glass.Won't the Blu-Ray and HD-Dvd eventualyl make DVDs obsolete? There are drives that read both formats now and DVDs that work in both drives as well. I forget which moviehouse makes the ones that work in both, but read the article the other day.

Thanks All. Yes, the screen of the Zune is plastic, not glass...so I will take your advice and not use glass cleaner. I will take Smax's advice and use a cleaning wipe instead.Jimr, I do not think Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will make DVDs obsolete. I think those two are just advances in the same technology. My thinking is something like streamed or downloadable movies, once made mainstream, may eventually make DVDs obsolete. However, that is a LONG time coming.

Apple sells a special cleaner for use with the iPods... it would probably work for Zune too.White shoe polish for your sneakers? (I rarely wear them, so can't really say...)I think mp3s will not render CDs completely obsolete until the DRM issue has been adequately addressed. Until DRM free music is available for purchase in digital format just like it is in physical (CD) format, CDs will be around.

Hi Kellie. Thank you for that suggestion. Would you happen to have a link for the cleaner?

It's iKlear, made by klearscreen.

One day we will all carry around zune or i Pod size devices that can do EVERYTHING. They will be solar powered and satellite is how the communicate and everything else. THis device will be a phone, internet, mp3 player, mp4 player, tv, Like i said...EVERYTHING in the digital world will be all in one little device.

Thanks Smax. I was just about to dry one of those clorox wipes. :oops: I am going to order that product that Kellie recommended as well.

For cleaning Plasma TV, LCD screens and the like I have a spray bottle filled with plain tap water (I'm on a well) run through a PUR filter on the faucet. After spraying, I use a CLEAN old T-shirt. For cleaning my plastic lens in my "glasses", I run plain faucet water over them and again use a T-shirt to dry and clean them. At work, I use the special cleaning cloth that came with them. Why an old T-shirt - COTTEN does not scratch or leave a film on plastic, some other fabrics will, plus it is very absorbent.Shoes - the last time I wore sneakers, was when I was canoeing and wanted shoes that I could wear in the water. No Hope - instantly grungy and kept in the barn, even after washing on return from river. To get really, really grungy wear them in the Okefenokee Swamp. Never bought white - wasted effort. Every day shoes are by SAS. They make shoes that are for people on their feet all day - teachers, nurses, etc. But they also make Mens shoes and they are basically leather tops and sneaker bottoms with a ribbed rubber sole. They even squeak on polished floors. They are very comfortable, but can be polished with shoe polish and look good. At $135 a pair, they are not cheap, but the last and last. I have a pair that I wore to Scout Camp in the N. Georgia Mountains three years ago and I thought it would finish them off, but they are still wearable. BTW SAS was originally called San Antonio Shoe.

I think the solid state drives will eventually evolve enough to be the DVD replacement. The drives will hold enough data as well as be easily plugged in to a TV/computer hybrid that will be able to play the video/audio/whatever is on it without much work.Regards,JB
