10173. arkymalarky - 12/23/2011 6:24:45 AM You can get mp3 and other music playersxthat will plug into your car outlet and go thru your speakers 10174. arkymalarky - 12/23/2011 6:25:33 AM My brother, no joke, idolizes dan fogelberg 10175. arkymalarky - 12/23/2011 6:39:48 AM Stan informs me I am wrong, but I would check with radio shack because I think he is wrong. 10176. wabbit - 12/23/2011 6:11:54 PM Soundfly aux. MP3 player - sorry Stan. ;)
I'm sure others are available. 10177. judithathome - 12/23/2011 9:33:56 PM Jeez....CDs are going the way of 8 tracks? How long before DVDs are trashed because you can get the movies directly to your computer or phone?
So new cars are going to be equipped with....what? Radios and what?
I know I'm old now...I just hate all these gizmos people are plugged into and the way written communication is all 156 letters and OMG! and LOL! and spelling correctly has fallen to the wayside in favor of "fonetic spllng".
(Of course, I misspell as much as anyone and so you'd think I'd be all for THAT!) 10178. arkymalarky - 12/24/2011 1:45:19 AM Mp3s and ipods hold so much more and are smaller and editable. I bought a 1" sq shuffle and love it. Load whatever i want and go. If i can keep it out if the washing machine.
And having started here and having taught english 30 years, i love the new media, its broadness, flexibility and universality. 10179. arkymalarky - 12/24/2011 1:48:23 AM And for rural folks like us smartphones are a huge help. I've given up on regular internet for now. 10180. thoughtful - 12/24/2011 3:17:02 AM The problem with all this technology is that it requires work. I like being able to flip "on" and get music. No fuss, no muss.
I have a shuffle and while it's great for listening to podcasts while I'm walking, it does require recharging and adding and deleting files ... but at least you can subscribe to the podcasts so refills are minimal effort.
Loading an ipod requires $$ and time and effort I'm not willing to give.
One of the best things the internet has brought is itunes radio which requires no effort but allows for more selected offerings to listen to for free. Wonderful. 10181. arkymalarky - 12/24/2011 5:45:44 AM A lot if what you can load is your own cds, totally free and legal. A shuffle has no features, really, just the ease of loading and carrying your music. 10182. arkymalarky - 12/24/2011 5:48:23 AM If you have a pc a shuffle and cds you should be good to go. Just put your cds into your pc itunes and select what goes into your shuffle. 10184. judithathome - 12/24/2011 10:43:45 PM How odd...the front page shows 10183 posts with the last one being from Magoseph...what happened to her post? 10185. arkymalarky - 12/25/2011 2:05:45 AM That happens sometimes when someone looks in and hits sonething--i forget what--without actually posting. 10186. judithathome - 12/28/2011 7:08:53 PM News from Hollywood: Cheetah, the chimp from the old Tarzan movies, died today at age 85.
10187. vonKreedon - 1/6/2012 7:57:32 PM This cracks me up:
BBC News - US Navy rescues Iranians held hostage by pirates 10188. judithathome - 1/6/2012 11:43:19 PM Hey, every little act of kindness deserves a return! 10189. wabbit - 1/8/2012 12:16:16 AM Evidently Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi doesn't know how to be gracious and simply say, "Thank you". 10190. Wombat - 1/9/2012 3:52:09 AM Apparently there is a lot of communication on the "tactical" level between the US and Iran (to avoid possible misunderstandings that could lead to incidents...) 10191. judithathome - 1/11/2012 8:27:46 PM Huntsman did pretty well last night in the NH primary...and I was so glad to see a major part of the easterners were able to judge Perry for what he is. But then they gave Mitt such a boost, all tempation for praise for them evaporated. 10192. judithathome - 1/20/2012 8:30:36 PM Singer Etta James, best known for the song "At Last," died Friday, her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon, said.
10193. vonKreedon - 1/20/2012 8:59:21 PM Yeah, that's been coming for a while now. I saw her perform at our zoo several years ago, excellent performance, she seemed a younger woman than her ~66 years.
