I'm not knocking the Olympus recorders as I'm sure they're great pieces of equipment but some people seem to have a "thing" about talking devices for some reason and they seem to automatically figure that just because they talk then they're better than devices which don't <smile>.
If you want to hear Olympus recorders in action then go to <http://www.blindcooltech.com> and "listen away", plenty of podcasts there on Olympus recorders. Points taken, that's why I bought my Zoom H1, no its not multi track but I didn't need one of those. No it doesn't talk but if I can use a cassette recorder then I can use a Zoom H1, think I paid $100.00 for it over a year ago, an absolute bargain.
