Hi Mary I just discovered that Apple is selling the Jawbone Jambox and I'm gonna try and persuade she who makes the choices, but she who sometimes is very generous not only to me but to others as well as she's sent stuff overseas in order to help people before now. Anyway, to the point. I'm gonna try and persuade her to get me one. Incidentally mary, Live Aid was an experience. I was there, quite close to the stage. We got really good positions and the sound system was amazing.

It couldn't even really stand up if you put it on the ground. But I loved that radio. One of my fondest memories is taking it out in the back yard, leaning it against a tree, and listening to Live Aid. lol Mary Quoting Martin McCormick <[email protected]>: > It sounds like the term has evolved.
