I asked him and he said the service he used was bought out by myfax.com. He said he was grandfathered in at a lower price. But, feel free to check out their current service. Peter Eric Cope wrote: What fax service does he use? I've searched for a fax service like that, but have never found one

Re: OT: Telephone land line and DSL alternatives?

I have Cox for Internet, Phone and Cable. Several months ago I was getting irritated with the high cost of the land line phone portion of my bill. What I did was to get a Google voice number, which provided me with free long distance and voice mail (as well a many other excellent features - al

Re: OT: digital camcorder that has frame stabilization

Probably overkill for posting to YouTube but I bought a Sony HDR-CX150 and I'm pretty happy with it. $550 out the door over at Best Buy, it has 16GB internal Flash plus an SD card slot for additional recording time. It will do 2+ hours in HD on internal memory and battery life is around that time

Re: OT: digital camcorder that has frame stabilization

My (cheap) Kodak camera, might not be the kind you want, but it does use an SD card (very easy "plug in" type) for memory, and I literally have used it with a tripod before, and it has both optical zoom and, a decent number of pixels (for still pictures at least) so that you can do some digital "da

Re: OT: digital camcorder that has frame stabilization

Not too specific, since it's hard to do that without more information, but the Canon Vixia line of HD camcorders are excellent and most models record both to internal SSD and removable flash cards (the internal is faster, and for short clips at higher quality you can record to internal then copy

Re: OT: digital camcorder that has frame stabilization

I'd recommend something that records to digital media (SD cards, hard drive) rather than tape.

Tape driven cameras have constant data rates, meaning when things wit
