I have an Olympus WS-110 from I DON'T recommend the sound quality. And the batteries don't last very long. It has an auto-off function that appears not to work. But on the good side, the device records into a USB key, and Linux reads it fine, and Audacity plays my files. You can also use the USB

downside is voice recording only works to .wav - you

On that recommendation, is it not ironic then that Linksys is owned by
Cisco? You would think they would take a product that they bought out
and improve it considering their name is on it.

A family member has upgraded his computer setup and asked if I might
assist in the disposal of old components. These are working fine, all
parts included, but have a few years on them and were replaced for
newer, faster models. I don't have them on hand, but can arrange to pick

YMMV, I guess. I had dealt with LinkSys support well

It's worth shopping around for these, too: NewEgg offers Sansa products,
refurbished, at quite a bargain. They've got a 2Gb Clip in today's

Woot! often has refurb Sansas at good prices.
Also, consider installing Rockbox on many different models for better

I've been on this list for a about a year now, and am always impressed
by the knowledge of this group.
However, I simply cannot understand why you guys have to bash consumer

So, just looking at the menus:
you get to chose 802.1q or 'port-based' VLAN's. They seem to be
mutually exclusive. I chose 802.1q.
You can number and name VLAN's. The range is
