Re: [MBZ] 240D Update
Kevin, I give you my greatest respect. As a young man I was apprenticed to a blacksmith who was one of the best in the area, perhaps in the country, who was blind since age 16. The man was a genius with hot metal. He taught me even how to temper and weld from a forge to anvil. To this day, I'm still not sure exactly how he did some things. Under his leadership I learned many things about how to survive what ever life gives you also. Sounds to me, you are that kind of fellow. It's a pleasure to meet you, even if only by computer.

Re: [MBZ] HP TouchPad Dual Boot
Well, as I may have mentioned earlier, I will be swapping the 16GB TouchPad for a 32GB model next week, which I will promptly jailbreak. Then the 16GB one will go to eBay to be purchased for a stupid price (I can't believe what people are paying for these used!) I like the dual boot capabilities. Since I have no experience with either OS at this point I am trying to use both and decide which will become the permanent one. Wifi is a little sketchy still, and battery consumption is high. These are known issues, so I expect them to be dealt with in future beta releases. The foundation is good, however. My only real complaint is with the wifi being wonky at this point. There are lots of reports in this regard, do I am sure it will get fixed shortly. Dan On Mar 2, 2012, at 10:59 AM, Tim C bb...@crone.us wrote: Our cameras work, and so do all the apps, on cm7.

Re: [MBZ] OT-Burn those 78rpm
As for sound quality, I am going out on a limb and say you would probably have better luck getting the sound you want with an old phonograph set with tubes. This thing will be using all digital goofiness and will not capture with the warmth you may remember. Will also take a really good sound card to be able to capture, so having an ADC in line might not hurt. clay ps, got more data than I wanted chatting with my neighbor who is setting up a home recording studio and trying to figure out how to avoid mixing digitally On Mar 2, 2012, at 5:58 PM, Dieselhead wrote: Anyone know how the quality of recording off this would compare to a midrange turntable from the 70s with a good shure cartridge?

Re: [MBZ] OT-Burn those 78rpm
I would think it would be better to run it through your turntable/receiver/soundcard to Audacity, where you set the recording parameters and save an original file, then export it to whatever format you want. If you want an mp3 for a player, you can get that, if you want something better to burn to a CD you can get that, or something better to play back from the computer. Also those all-in-one things probably have pretty cheap components, not that it would probably make a lot of difference in generating an mp3... --R On 3/2/12 8:58 PM, Dieselhead wrote: Anyone know how the quality of recording off this would compare to a midrange turntable from the 70s with a good shure cartridge?

Re: [MBZ] 240D Update
That's a funny story! I would have seen the rust if I wanted to crawl underneath on the muddy driveway. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had known what was under there. However, now that it's here, we're going to have some fun with it. It also has a bitt of blowby pressure coming out the oil cap, but no smoke. I'm hoping some of this clears up now that it has Mobil 1 in the crankcase. We had it out for a few hours today around town. We got it up to almost 80 to clean it out before doing the emissions testing and registration. It passed!
