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

Our cameras work, and so do all the apps, on cm7. But it's more gingery and less creamy. I've never booted back to Webos since the transition. Of course the camera quality is awful, even the children don't like them - so you aren't missing much. Glad you are having a good time with it! :)

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

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

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
