As an aside, are you working on that "Day Side" show, Will?

That was never "my" show, but I do fill in on occasion on that and a few
things. I have decided I hate the sound of the Calrec Sigma they have up there
in that room. The micpres sound like mosquitos, they have a small amount of
analog gain (maybe 30db?) and the rest is done in the digital domain - yuck.

Anyway mostly just the daytime news wheel for a hour or two, "The Big
Story with John Gibson" or "Your World w/ Neil Cavuto" 4 days a week, and then
voiceovers and some of the preproduced weekend shows tapings like Cal Thomas,
Fox Weekend Magazine, Sunday Best, Cavuto Weekend...

Sounds like some variety. And it's gotta beat getting up so early.

They sell a ton of the "Zip Zap" micro miniature cars, they are really
cool. Amazing how cheap RF toys are these days, even small airplanes.

Anyway they still have some small Minimus speakers I think, and when you
need a couple of diodes there ain't too many places you can walk into and
pickup a couple on a Saturday afternoon...

Do they have anything useable?

They sell a very short (ca. 8") AC extension cord that I find useful as a
way of plugging multiple 2-prong wall warts into AC mults; wish they made
a 3-prong equivalent, but the one they have is definitely useful.

Recently I found a $15 (!) digital audio format converter that converts
S/P-DIF coaxial to optical or vice versa. Though sold with a little wall
wart, it can be rigged to work from a 9 Volt battery for hours on end,
and it seems to work OK.

In a pinch I'll buy their alkaline batteries and they also have a rather
wide assortment of rechargeables, though with a little advance planning
one can surely find better prices through pro audio sources.
