Michael. The new Olympus interests me. I just lost my Olympus VN1800 So I'm in the market for another memory aid. Will be nice for recording choir practices too. They finally came out with the sort of recorder I wanted. Only wish it had more memory but 128 megs will do, especially for the aprox $100 price tag. I sure hope it uses multiple beeps for selecting folders the way my 1800 did. It had 1 to 4 short beeps for 4 folders. The other functions on the 1800 had useful audible tons as well. Only thing I could not work was the calendar function. I notice that a model reviewed on Main menu only used one tone so it was harder to keep track of folders. That was a step in the wrong direction from Olympus.
I would go for a Mini-disk but it seems they all have some sort of accessability drawbacks. I'll have to figure out a way to keep the new Olympus from getting away from me. Maybe I'll use the neck cord. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Lang" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
