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!
OK:
Line outputs are important if you want to experience the full potential of an instrument's frequency range (which often far exceeds the capability of the built-in speaker). Adding a line output also opens the unit up to external signal processing.
A suitable line output can usually be derived from the wires going to the speaker. Simply mount the output jack of choice on the case and solder new wires to it that come from the speaker terminals. Then, plug the instrument in to a small amp to check the output level.
Slowly turn the amp up. If the signal is too hot, add a trim pot to one of the wires going to the new jack you installed and adjust it accordingly (1 Mž will probably work).

Thanks for those links, Tommy.
Connect the wires to both channels (left and right) of a stereo jack plug. Then the ground goes to the other wire.
What other wire? Sorry, I\'m not following.

Oh, I mean connect one wire to feed both channels (left and right) and the other wire to the ground. (The stereo plug only uses those three wires, right?) Basically, you'd make a Y-connector. Or you could just buy a Y-connector (or mono-to-stereo plug) at Radio Shack or something.
Who here has experience with Cafe Press and other print-to-order merchandise places? The Gothic Charm School store is currently Cafe Press -based, but I'm idly looking for other options. Options that might offer messenger bags in a color
other
than eye-searing yellow.
Options that might offer messenger bags in a color other than eye-searing yellow.
I'd buy one in black.
Actually, I need a new laptop case for my 13" MacBook. One option I'm considering is a laptop sleeve (or whatever you call them) and a messenger bag....
I'd buy one in black.
See, that's my problem with Cafe Press.
Everyone
would buy a GCS messenger bag in black. But does CP offer them in black? No, they do not. They only have eye-searing yellow.
Raq mentioned someone she liked better than Cafepress for her stuff, but I can't remember what thread that was in.
I use laptop sleeves! For both my laptops. They are invaluable. They protect your computer from so much, in whatever back you thrust it into--I have used backpacks, my leather messenger, my generic jansport messenger, my overly large handbag. So worth it.
I feel like an idiot for not knowing this: what is the tool or key combination in MS Word that allows one to keep words together-- in the "showing paragraph marks view" it shows a little superscript circle between words?
