Luddites were a group of social reformers who only smashed machinery that replaced a worker, where the worker was not conpesated! They are wrongly show as people who were anti-technology.
Shareware died when they put it on CD. Ambrosia is a lone island of very good developers who produce some of the best stuff around. They use simple and addictive game play and great graphics. IMO any single person doing shareware is hopeing to develop the skills to get a software contract, shareware will send 'em crazy. Get help, now! regards from an ex-shareware writer(?) my MacUser Nomination was not enough to have people pay for games etc.
I have built an MP3 player using an old CD-ROM, the board required comes from here, http://www.bettanet.net.au/gtd/ relatively easy and cheap. Can be run off a computer PSU or a single 12Volt power source.
Another possible solution is a Hi-quality Voice to text machine that you can dial into. You have a mobile, you ring the number, record your memo and it is then translated and emailed back to you. The translator can be as big as a house, you don't actually have to carry it around, you only have to be able to call it up via a telephone. The idea could be as big as the ISP network.
Couple of things here, Many Oz Gov. workers are being moved to contacts or workplace agreements. This means that it can be a lot easier to sack a person who is using resources in an un-authorised manner. Currently all Gov. bodies forbid the use of eMail etc for private purposes, but usually they use the distribution of offensive material as a trigger for action against the 'user'. Offencive material covers a broarder range of material than just Porn. It's a huge issue requiring a couple of gig to cover.
This is an old problem. You can reduce the content of a file to 0% as long as you include the look-up table for the resulting symbol, in a separate file. The original file becomes just a file name, and there is an association between this file and the file containing the look-up table that enables you to rebuild the original data. The compressed file can then be sent over any medium as long as the link to the associted file containing the look-up table is maintained. SO the compressed file contains none of the original data, compression=0%, but it can be un/de/compressed as long as the associated data file is available. !Pat Pending
I am with Telstra Bigpond Cable. On an open account I have had 400+kBytes/second downloads, on a restricted speed/unlimited downloads plan I pay to have 512Kbits/sec and get that sort of speed out of good sites without any real restriction on quantity. (no servers allowed on this plan). Last night I had 8 simultanious downloads happening at 7-8 kBytes/sec each, from an Apple FTP site.

You missed the line that said that the MP3 player user a PSU OR single 12 volt supply.
