Hi Dane Yes, that's as I thought. I really must start playing around with these things a little more. I must also get my Plextalk fixed as it's been damaged by an unfortunate accident.
I was making a recording a while ago which involved climbing a ladder to gain access to the deck of a ship moored in permanent dry dock. Well, I got safely to the top, as did the Plextalk. I made the recording and it was on the way down that the accident happened. A friend of Lynne's offered to carry the Plextalk down for me. Out of politeness, I accepted her offer and let her do it. Well as she got on to the ladder, we heard a scream and then an unpleasant crash. She was alright, she didn't fall. But apparently she isn't have a secure enough hold on the Plextalk and it took the shortcut ride to reach the bottom. Although it was in its bag, when I got it back, along with her profuse apologies and her many offers to replace it, it soon became obvious to me that the machine had suffered significantly for its shortcut ride. The CD drive within the player is non-functional. I'm guessing that the head has become misaligned and it won't read the disks accordingly. So, I have that to repair now. I'm sure it's fixable, it just probably needs a new CD drive installing. Anyway, I'm babbling.
