Does anybody have any elderly relatives who are using one?

Our wings are not tired
I picked up a Garmin Street Pilot for my niece for her graduation gift. I think it was the c340. It's a touch screen interface and appeared to be pretty straightforward.

This would probably be the right thread to note that over dinner tonight mr. flea said he wants to go down to the Mother of All Malls on Friday night, to see the people lined up/buying their iPhones.
Not to buy one ourselves, mind you. Just to see the people getting theirs.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I can so see mr. flea doing this. (He should take pictures).

Question for the folks who manipulate sound:
I did a workshop yesterday and now have a shiny cd with truly excellent material interspersed amongst, long silences, silly comments and odd sounds.
I'd like to tighten it up, make the file shorter and then post it on my site and send it via email for a short e-course.
In other words, I'd like to produce a coherent 15 minute mp3 file out of an hour and twenty minute cd. Preferably using a low or no cost tool Mac-based tool.
What are my best options?

Beej, there's a freeware program for the Mac called Audacity that's a great tool to edit sound files. Lemme look where it is....

Tep rocks! Then again, we knew that.
I've downloaded Audacity and the am importing the file now. Gotta figure out what to do.
I'm so excited to get this file out there.
Thanks Hon!

I would like to be there - I can't decide if I'm going to buy one or wait - although I may have no choice since they won't be sold here and I can't really ask someone else to wait in line for me. I'm hoping they won't all sell out the first day.
My dad was talking to an Apple store employee who told him that the phones will go on sale at 6pm but that they won't actually arrive in the store until 4pm. And that employees can't buy one for two weeks. So maybe there will still be some around by the time I can get to a store.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Technological/musical people: My father is looking for a keyboard to plug into his computer. He doesn't need it to be flashy, but would like more than an octave or two. Anybody have models they've had success with, or ones to avoid?
