Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's the impression I get from browsing the reviews, but it seems to be an issue across the board, unfortunately.

Yep. It's an iPod issue, not a mic issue. If you record on low quality, the battery will last like it used to, but I don't know how much the quality is likely to be an issue for E... (I assume not that much, if he's using it for note-taking and he's been using the old one with no problem - but there's always gotta be a tradeoff, right?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would really love to be able to open files read-only from my right mouse click menu.

Anyone know if that could be finagled?

Gris,

after the fiasco that is the Palm Lifedrive, I'm not going to get excited about any palm/palm-related product. My lifedrive is a friggin doorstop after 1 year of use.

You're talking XP, right?

You could write a DOS script that would do the opening, assuming you could pass the file name (of the highlighted file) to the script. Then you'd add the DOS script to the "open with" option (which I know is easily done).

Would that be app independent?

You know what? I miss switches. I mean, I assume and even know they're still out there, but last time I tried to research Eudora's startup switches it was so overly difficult...
