'Touched'
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!
Note that even if you can do it on this machine, you won't have tablet functionality.
I figured as much. I'm now instead walking him through refurbed options. That seems to be a much better way to go, especially if it's not his main work computer. He can get a light little refurbed 13" for under $1,000.
They had a refurbed 15" Macbook Pro the other night for $1299 and one for $1499 last night. You tend to have to be up to check in the middle of the night for those deals though as they sell quickly.

yeah. i was on the radio this morning and i have a podcast of the show, but i just want to extract the part with me. it's about a 40 minute show and the segment with me in it is about 5 and a half minutes.
How about audacity?

That's why I suggested ffmpeg. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a simple windows binary.
