Bruce, why couldn't you just send a "wave file"?

Thanks, Burr, I would not rule that out - but I am not sure my
existing software can make or convert to a wavefile (.wav). All I
have is MS and Windows sound recording software (creates a .wma file)
and some software Brenda found for me that can convert to an MP3.

If you or anyone has some ideas about this, I (not being a PC-savvy
person at all) would be most appreciative.

Like dave said, concerning the Live Puppy Linux. You can access all your
windows files and do your mp3 changes. There should be full 'net access.

When you're done, removed the cd and reboot the machine. Nothing will
have changed in your existing Windoze setup. that's like taking the
*blue* pill.

All the Live Linux distributions on cd run pretty slow. You can't
compare that speed to a real hard drive installation. There is a 'dual
boot' option in most Linuxes, so you can keep windows where it is and
choose between the systems at startup time.

An extra hard drive is a good option. As you wean yourself off the
inferior, you spend more and more time away from the Gate's nightmare.

Installing it on an older (cheap or free) computer may be also quite
rewarding. There is usually a noticeable speed improvement and a good
feeling about having brought something back from the dead.

Puppy on a Live CD loads into RAM completely and is incredibly fast.
