Get a recording device and tape it when it plays on speakerphone.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Thanks, Le Nubian. I think we have a tape recorder somewhere, but I was hoping for better sound quality than that will produce without having to buy new equipment. Like a way to transfer it directly to my computer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can probably also record it on a cellphone or a microphone connected to your computer. Not many home phones will have outputs that go directly into a computer, but without knowing what sort you have, it's impossible to say.

Thanks, ita. I'll look into that when I get home and am near the actual phone.

Yeah. Provide more details. You might be able to do a 3-way call to google voice and record too.

Coding and Sleeping
I've heard Paint.Net is a pretty good graphics program that's free and not an obtuse as Gimp. I don't use it myself since I use Gimp.

Hey. New board.
Paint.net is my favorite graphics program on Windows for exactly that reason - I can give it to my middle school students and they can survive, but it's also powerful enough to do basically anything I know how to do on the Gimp or in Photoshop. Which isn't to say it can even scratch the surface of those programs, but it has layers and can do some moderately cool stuff with them.

I think that sounds like a great fit. Thanks, guys!

Am I missing something in Apple Mail? I can't work out how to advance to the next unread. I have over 15 mailboxes. I don't want to eyeball for the single unread item. TireSOME.

Entirely unrelated, anyone have right-now camera answers? I have a D50 and I'm trying to work out if my lenses will work on a D3200 (Zulily, fuck you). It seems my AF-S lens will be just fine ( [link] but my 75-240 seems to be an AF, which means the new computer won't autofocus.
Anyone familiar with manually focusing on a Nikon? My Pentax had the split image, and especially with lack of depth of field preview, I feel like I'll mess stuff up just eyeballing it. has anyone made that transition easily.
Thankfully I'd keep automatic metering.
If I need to replace the zoom, the discount is less use. My 28-80 and 18-55 clearly won't cover it.
My current DSLR isn't broken--I was going to give it to my sister, as these things sometime happen. But not if it's a dumb deal for me...
What am I failing to consider in this shopping? The sale ends Tues 6AM PDT, see.
