I don't even want to know why you had a digital recorder in the sauna. ;-) Gale ----- Original Message ----- From: Ryan Welker To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 5:43 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: (NGR) Digital Recorder I have been using an Olympus VN-3100PC and my old iRiver H10 MP3 player for recording lectures. The feature that I like about both products is that I can plug them into the computer and save the lectures as wav or mp3 files. My iRiver doesn't have a microphone port but the Olympus does. I owned a sony in the past, but had several problems with it. I have sent both the olympus and iRiver through a washing machine a few times and the sauna at the gym almost nightly without any issues. http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1272 Hope this helps. -ryan On 5/14/07, Brad Wheeling <brad.wheeling@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I know there are some tech savvy people on this list that might have a good reccomendation.
