My first MP3 player - a Creative "Zen V Plus"

This was my first MP3 player, a 8GB Creative Zen V Plus' Creative Technology. I was about to throw it away (doesn't work anymore) but thought I could save a memory of it here. Decided to take a few photos of it before discarding it to the rubbish bin. You can see, from one of the photos, that a part of its plastic front panel has been torn away. I remember buying it in late 2006 because I had started composing my own digital music (made on my Mac), and I was tired of having to power up my Macbook Pro everytime I wish to listen to it. A laptop made for a rather clunky MP3 player, heh. Think this MP3 player conked out in 2008 or 2009. Can't remember exactly how much it cost. Maybe $300? Was it less. Anyway, the Apple iPod was the rage back then. But I went for a Creative MP3 player cos it was less pricey.
