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) _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

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!).

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. _________________ "But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cateagle. He walked by himself and all places were alike to him."
