Ms. Daj,

Do people still listen to the radio?

I suggest hooking up some speakers and a wireless mouse to an Internet-connected computer, and playing an Internet simulcast of a radio station.

Do you want a CD or cassette player or anything other than radio?

I don't know about where daj is, but streaming audio got banned where I was working, because it potentially takes up too much bandwidth.

food was good, now I am playing with the baby and trying to find paperwork and associated files from a couple years ago, but I think the paperwork is long gone.

I hate that. There is no happy medium for how long you need to keep data. I know some of the files on my server are from 1995 and probably not necessary but we have lots of stuff from 2000 and beyond and who knows if we still need it or not.

Do you want detachable speakers?

What price range?

One of my primary jobs involved updating files from 1986 on. I have all the electronic stuff, I never get rid of that, it's the papers (mostly notes from meetings) that I don't think I have anymore.

I'm don't listen to a lot of music. I play it in the background to block out the sound of the loud lady in the next office talking on the phone and the perisistent cougher down the hall.

This doesn't look too bad.

And then there's this one.

Or these . . .

Peruse these mini shelf units, too.

I see that gman is off shopping. I'll leave him to help you daj. I think I'm gonna be busy tonight anyway.

Well, time to go home. Have a happy wootoffday, folks..

We, er I mean Santa, got one for daughter at Sears, er the North Pole for Christmas. It's a Sony and sounds okay, but I'm not an audio-guru, so it could very well sound quite crappy.
