Jerry, Et Al, It is very true that there is considerable excellent information on http://www.blindcooltech.com dealing with the accessibility or lack of accessibility of digital recorders and reviews of devices such as the Olympus WS200s and the "Best Pick," WS320M. If you shop around, you can find this latter recorder discounted for approximately $160 to around $180. I have read several of Larry's podcasts and others on blindcooltech, and while they are extremely informative, some of them are also very long and often a very small amount of the podcast time is actually devoted to the essence of the information suggested by the title, and if time is extremely limited, it is difficult to listen to all of the "off topic" extraneous information, interesting as it might be, if you are listening for the purpose of getting more directly to the information related to the title of the podcast.
