I think someone did say Jackie that Hagger are gone! Pity that. I just got mine in the high street but they won't be available these days. I think the lower end of the Olympis would do the job fine but with the USB for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Actually Eleanor, now I think of it, I have a feeling RNIB sell something
like a Sony cassette job, but wouldn't put my money on it. Perhaps yours or 
something similar is still a possibility for Andy?  Hagger UK were also
great for those kind of bits and pieces, but did someone say they've gone
out of business, or have moved into a different market now?

If Andy wanted a good old fashoned Sony cassette recorder I have one in
excesllent condition and even tapes that are unopened so that is a
possability.  It has cue and review too on it.  This cost 30 pounds.  I
always used to leave one of these by the phone and I found them brilliant
too. Even those memo tapes though I do not think I have one of those
recorders now.

Hi Roger

Indeed they did, but it was never the same outfit, mainly
concentrating on mobile phones and car kit accessories.  There were
never any good note-takers or anything really suitable for us after
Tandy went over to them.

I guess Andy's best bet for something reasonably cheap but tasteful
would be to try Argos.  The trouble is that you can't look at all the
products and try them out there though.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

I saw once in an Accountancy trade magazine that when Tandy closed
they took a change of direction and re-opened as Car Phone Warehouse.
Shame they didn't keep some of the kit they sold as well.

Hi Kevin

Yes, they dealt with a lot of CB stuff, hifi, and we once bought a
very accessible talking volt meter.  What made me think of them was
the fact they sold some good quality note-takers in the form of
ordinary or micro cassettes.  Yes I know they are out-of-date now, but
some of the Tandy makes were good quality.

Jackie Cairns

Oh theirs a blast from the past.
I was in that shop all the time I am a radio ham and at that time I was on 
the CB radio, I was always buying something every week.

Hi Eleanor

No I know you weren't.  Don't know about anyone else, but I miss good
old Tandy.  They always had things like recorders and leads.  I know
Maplin is a good outlet, but I loved Tandy as they had some really
useful kit, and most towns had one on the High Street.

Absolutely Jackie and I was not implying that it was bashing RNIB but
RNIB would do well to do a survey on these and then look around again.
Even the cheapest Olympis is in my opinion excellent though of course
if people want speech on it, it is a no goer but for messages and
phone numbers which are then transferred at a later date I would think

excellent.

Hi Eleanor

I'm not RNIB bashing, just being honest.  Those little note-takers
are just crap and not fit for purpose.  Again, it's my personal view
and very subjective.  Perhaps they would do for some people, but I
think it would be nice to have some that are inexpensive but useful.
I guess you mainly get what you pay for though.

Well Jackie many people agree with what you say so maybe RNIB should
re-think that.

They certainly do, but the playback reproduction is pretty appalling.

Hi all -

I'm looking for a cheap but reliable gadget to have near my phone
for jotting down phone numbers and brief messages when on a call. I
don't want to pay hundreds of pound for loads of bells and whistles,
just want a simple instantly recording device. Any suggestions? -

Andy
