Today at Sam's Club I found a display model on sale for $35 with carry case and behind-the-head-style headset. Hoping it works!


Is that a CD-player?
I have a portableCD-Player somewhere... but only because I haven't bothered to bin it yet... I'd rather use a $10 cassette player...

At the moment I use my Sony MD-player which gives about 7hours to a recharge. Good sound, fits in a shirt pocket.
The ear-plugs that came with it, though...

I've tried several replacements over the years, a set of Sony's with a curved hook to fit around the ear(didn't agree with my glasses), several sets of earplugs(icky...) and a behind-the-head type headset(didin't go well with long hair)
Now I'm using a Koss Porta Pro set.
They're expensive, but... the sound is good, they're comfortable and folds down into a decent package.
This set can't be worn behind the head, though, but the slightly cheaper Sporta Pro can be used that way.

Now, if I could only afford one of the new Hi-MD players...
1GB disks and up to 45Hours of music on each.
(Assume 10Hours if using decent ATRAC3 formatting instead of low-res MP3)

[The miles I'm taking in stride. Sure, I'm back to doing an oil change every month again, and I've had a couple of days in which I broke 400 miles (hit 500 pulling back into my driveway one evening!). But as I drive I watch each mile tick over, and I keep thinking "Forty and a half cents, forty and a half cents ... " Smile


BT/DT without getting paid for the miles. The four months from November, 2003 through February, 2004. The only redeeming graces were that I got familiar with Ft. Worth before I mvoed here, that I got some familiarity with the program I'm now on as a direct employee, and that the drive was Interstate darn near all the way 9roughly 100 miles each way).

Anyway, Chris, glad to hear your job is working out.
