My Sony MZ-N707 machine is still for sale. I bought it a couple of years ago in order to take lecture notes, but never used it. I paid over 300 dollars Canadian for it and am letting it go for 200 American. I am even going to throw in a box of mini discs as well. It comes complete with software, a stereo headset, remote control, AC power supply,and car adapter. . .
