>> Hi Brad,
>> Thanks. I was looking on http://www.radioshack.com, and they had one for

>> computer. I am pretty sure I just want it to be able to do things like 
>> record interviews with those who give me permission, or record stuff I 
>> want to remember for later.

>> Depending on your use. For voice noting use only you can get them on

>> use or higher quality needs  for recording WAV format probably a
>> couple hundred and up with SD card capabilities. Olympus has nice
>> units and support blind folks with voice menus on the more spendy
>> ones. I've a DS70 or is it 71, can't recall. It was like $325 when it
>> first came out but now they've all come down some. I use mine as a
>> mic as well for doing music work tapes, they got a pretty good mic in
>> them actually.   For daily use I use the Olympus VN6000 and just got
>> another one a couple months back for $33 including shipping. I've
>> dropped mine several times sending it flinging across the room and it
>> keeps on working... after I found the battery cover and batteries
>> that is :). I usually go for the discontinued models because with GB
>> capabilities continually going up, I'd rather stay lower for
>> cheaper  as long as it works for me. The VN6000 will record 6000
>> minutes on the lowest bit rate quality and I think 8 hours on its
>> highest quality.

>> Hope that helps.
