[FARC] FS: A few odds and ends...

[Dave Lufkin]

Radio people: Thanks to those who helped me "thin the herd" of my 
extensive frs / gmrs collection. Here are a few odds and ends I've come 
across that might be of interest to someone:

1: A little mp3 player, about the size of my thumb, from SanDisk. The 
Sansa m230 holds 512Mb of info, and plugs into your computer via the 
included USB cable. Very intuitive interface, powered by a replaceable 
AAA battery. Built-in FM receiver and voice recorder. That's right, this 
thing has a little mic on the side, and is very handy for leaving 
yourself a short note, or a series of notes. Can also be used to store 
whatever kind of files you choose - think of it as a 512Mb thmb-drive if 
you like. Drag-and-drop music, podcasts, whatever. 1/8" headphone jack 
for the included phones (earbud-type). A really neat little pseudo-iPod. 
Some key points: 512Mb storage, you can change the battery, voice 
recorder, easy to use. $15.

2. In a similar vein to number 1 above, this is another little mp3 
player. Only 128Mb, but with very similar capabilities, this is from a 
company called "MyMusix". This one plugs directly into a USB port, and 
I'm including a short USB M-F cable if you don't have a spare port 
handy. $10.

3. Scanner, and I mean the kind with the piece of glass that you use to 
scan pictures or documents. Canon "CanoScan N1220U" will handle up to A4 
sized documents, and is about 1" thick. Single-button operation, no 
separate power adapter [powered through USB connection]. Very fast, I 
think 1200dpi. Good color imaging. Comes with USB cable, CD-ROM disc 
w/software and drivers for Windows & Mac, including OCR software. I used 
this scanner for years and years until I got an all-in-one. How about $25?

4. Magazines, magazines, magazines. Here's what I have to get rid of:

Any / all mags free to a good home; I just need the space.

That's it for now. As before, first reply gets the goods.
