From Larkin, petrified from lack of use :-)


You can't petrify a brass monkey!

BTW, I just got one of these:
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=R227-R&cpc=SCH

Sanyo R227 802.11g WiFi/Ethernet Internet Radio & Media Player
w/Alarm Clock (Black/Silver) $99.99

I figure that I'll save the price from the lower electric bill, and
won't need to have a computer on all the time. Sometimes I've had to
have two computers running to listen to streaming audio.

It has a line out, along with a headphone jack and a remote control.
The alarm clock sets itself on line, too.

Can't get much more off topic than that, huh?

Thanks, Michael...


I had just finished setting it up while I was replying to Jim.
'Strike while the iron is hot'! I'm listening to WSM out of Nashville
right now.
