Sorry, if this is bothering people. I am still very new to using
newsgroups and totally new to posting to groups using google. But, i
did think it was okay to post my message to all the groups i did,
cause i felt each of the groups i chose, would have an interest in
and possible knowledge about micro-cassette recorders.

That could be defensible, but one also should add a followup-to:
pointing at the most relevant newsgroup, which would be rec.audio.tech.
Other than that I will suggest using a reasonbable mic for a computer
and your computer via its sound card. If not for any other reason then
because it saves everybody exlaining you in three months how to get the
microcasette sound into your computer for burning on CD .... O;-)

Note: the suggested followup-to: is added to this post, which means that
followups will be readable in rec.audio.tech only. A standard
newsreader, say netscape 4.7x or outlook express with oe-quotefix is
strongly recommended and provides a much better overview.


Kind regards & Seasons Greetings

I'm currently trying to figure out how to exploit USENET and various
spambots and such to get me elected president by write-in in 2008. ;-P

Cheers!

Write spambots that automatically send spam advertising all other
candidates, using armies of XP machines that you've taken as slaves. Tell
people you are the 'anti-spam' candidate, and that you will solve their
horrible spam problems if they elect you. Once you are elected, fail
miserably, but keep promising that you will do it. Declare a 'war on
spam', while simultaneously underfunding enforcement agencies that deal
with spam. Invade Mexico, claiming you must eliminate their weapons of
mass spamming. Fail to find these weapons, and then appear in a computer
room wearing horn-rimmed nerd glasses and a pocket protector. Shake hands
for the cameras with the cheering 'can you hear me now-guy' lookalikes.
Have a computer screen behind you with an ascii logo proclaiming 'mission
accomplished'. Keep saying, again and again, that the evil Mexican
spammers were linked to 9/11. Loot the treasury for your buddies in the
computer business.

And here is a 72-year-old female who is an electronics "nut", but I usually
consult my son (whom I consider an electronics expert) when I have questions
about electronics.

Then you are in good company here. Here, we are all nuts of one sort or
another...

(BTW, how does one go about cracking electronic nuts?)

Any nice single guys there? ;-)

Nice and single here (but reading from misc.consumers). But I really
really like the single part.

My own current recording device is a Sony PCM1 portable DAT recorder
with some external mics that cost almost much as the deck. But the
machine and media is quite expensive for the application the OP asked
about.

Might be able to find a cassette recorder for a dollar at a yard sale
or thrift store.

With one hand in your pocket. <rimshot> ;-)

Well, I'm nice, and I'm single, but I'm 56, hideously ugly, and broke.
(Oh, yeah, I'm a drunk and a pothead, too.)

But hey, there's no accounting for tastes! ;-P

Cheers!

Not sure if you're calling me a dork, but i hope not!

No, that was just a generic sort of thing, to expand on "the worst you
could do [if you were to become annoying for some reason] is alienate
a few readers." The "dork" part was only for emphasis, as in, "or, you
could alienate a lot, if you should happen to become really annoying."

And, even if you were, I would never say that, since you're a woman,
and I'm a horny single geek. :)
how does one filter flamers? I mean, can i do that using google? Thx.

shygirl

No, on google you have to use the brain filter - i.e., once you find
who the trolls are, just skip over their posts.

Have Fun!

Well, it depends. I'm posting from and I've
recognized the names of a couple of other s.e.b denizens here, so, for
example, I would have to add my own "home" group to the followups. I
see no harm in continuing a crosspost, since there is only one copy
on the server that all of the crossposted headers point to, and there
might be people who are enjoying the thread who would miss it if their
"home" group disappeared from the crosspost.

And, most importantly of all, this thread is a week old and this is
the closest that there's been to a complaint about crossposting. :)
I've been in crossposted threads where there are people who _plead_
with the rest of us to stop crossposting to rec.blah.yadda.whatever .
Other than that I will suggest using a reasonbable mic for a computer
and your computer via its sound card. If not for any other reason then
because it saves everybody exlaining you in three months how to get the
microcasette sound into your computer for burning on CD .... O;-)

Get one of these and stick it to the telephone handset, at the ear
end:
http://www.mscelectronics.com/audio.htm

And go to your computer, a cassette recorder, a stereo amp, a pirate
FM transmitter, ;-) or whatever you want.
Note: the suggested followup-to: is added to this post, which means that
followups will be readable in rec.audio.tech only. A standard
newsreader, say netscape 4.7x or outlook express with oe-quotefix is
strongly recommended and provides a much better overview.

Well, I've fixed the crosspost - anyone in any of those other groups
who have been following the thread with interest would have been deprived
of that pleasure.

Hope This Helps!
