[Electronics-talk] digital Recorders

Sat Dec 20 00:47:27 UTC 2008

Hello,

I received my pocket early this week, and feel it will do quite well for me. 
It was purchased at I.R.T.I. Their phone is: 1-800-322-4784.  Besides the 
owners' manual on CD, there is help on the unit itself; I like this feature 
a lot.

Merry Christmas to all!

Rollie
