That's not a problem, you could atach a microphone to the line in jack, which records at 128 kbits/s; *but* there are a lot of drawbacks to the the unit.
1. Uses a "MultiMediaCard" instead of Compactflash or Smartmedia.
2.Uses a parallel port instead of usb.
3. This is the worst--the mp3 files will only play on their computer mp3 player, and is *not* exportable due to copy restrictions! That really sucks!
Minidisc is not appropriate

There's no easy way to upload the data from a minidisc in better than realtime...which is a bit of a pain in the ass. I don't know why Sony doen't put usb ports on the their recorders, you can even play back ATRAC on the new realplayer 8.

Minidisc compresses on the fly, and it lasts for a couple of hours on one or two AA's... (Minidisc compresses at about 5:1).
The FCC didn't didn't just sniff at Sinclair and say that they were wrong. They did a little research and gave some convincing counterarguments. The fact that NTSC reception at this same same sites were considered "not acceptable" makes Sinclair's argument even less compelling, as does the fact that they were using first generation receivers. To see the FCC's entire report go to http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/ Documents/reports which has a detailed analysis of the situation.

G3 is not 64 bit. G4 is also 32 bit but its Altivec instructions can be 128 bit ( or two 64 bit, or four 32 bit)
I don't see why everybody is so upset with .web missing...what's wrong with what already exists--.net?
