Well, just e-corresponded with Sylvia, the very kind and helpful lady
at the other end at PMA The Cross Radio on FSM. She has not yet
received an envelope with recording and report I sent on 14 February :-
( Thought airmail would be a little quicker than that. It was a good

For the recording, what media do you send them?

I sent a cassette tape in a standard plastic case in an envelope with
a report and a couple other things, which I had OKed ahead of time.
She can also accept MP3s, as per the website. Had the PO weigh and
apply the postage, so I know that's not the trouble. I am sure I had
the address right - it's pretty simple to begin with, and I always
double check.

It's a roundabout thing for me to convert a radio signal to an MP3,
but for ease of mailing or e-mailing, I might just do it from now on.

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

Burn a Live CD of Puppy Linux. Then cold boot your computer with the
Live CD. A fully-functional version of Puppy Linux will set itself up in
a few minutes. It is preloaded with all kinds of hacker goodness. After
a while, you may decide you prefer it. It'll run completely in RAM; it
only makes a save file with your permission. You shouldn't need to ever
install it on your hard drive, unless you really want to.

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.

HP computer, (it was a HP 600-1350 Touchsmart desktop computer I was
looking at, marked down to $949.99) HP will send you a new computer.

I'd check to see if Sprint 4G is available at your location. They'll
give you a free laptop if you sign up for 2 years. 3G is OK for audio,
but will eat up your 5GB cap if you watch TV on it.

"Sprint Nextel Tuesday unveiled dual-mode 3G/4G-embedded netbook and
notebook computers, both made by Dell, at the 4G World conference here.

The devices are considered the first such dual mode devices to be
announced by a national wireless carrier.

The new offerings include the Windows 7 Starter-based Dell Inspiron Mini
10 netbook that is free of charge -- after a $100 rebate and the signing
of a new two year service agreement with Sprint. Sprint also unveiled a
Dell Inspiron 11z notebook computer that runs Windows 7 Home Premium and
sells for $149.99 after a $100 rebate and the signing of a two-year
agreement for Sprint service.

Both devices will go on sale on Nov. 14 at Sprint stores and on
Sprint.com, the company said.

Sprint's 3g/4G service plan is priced at $59.99 a month for unlimited 4G
data and 5 GB of 3G data."

I tried that Puppy Linux today. Some notable drawbacks seem to be that
it doesn't support my sound card (on an HP dv7 laptop) and network
connections are a PITA. Other than that... it does seem to be pretty
fast. But if I can't do anything with it, it doesn't matter how fast it
is.


Have you tried "alsamixer"? [open Terminal, type alsamixer [Enter}

The Linux kernel has drivers for any kind of hardware made, built in.

Here's a more disciplined area where such matters are talked over:

You need to know the name of the wifi chipset if it doesn't find it
automatically. Connect (phone on top of modem icon) wlan0 it should
give you a list of wifi nodes in your area. Otherwise you need to name
the chipset on a list. But Puppy should have found it. It's as plug and
play as windows these days. This version is married to Ubuntu.
