So what are the hottest portable 8-track players? The vintage players ought to be the best.

What a waste of time. Hardly any of this was true for me. Just because I think cows taste better than horses doesn't mean I don't value my family over my career.

I have built-in GPS in my 2004 Accord. This is Honda's new GPS, and it's even better than the one in the TL-S. It's amazing. It even stayed on track in Mahattan, even when skyscrapers limited the number of satellites it could lock into. The built-in gyros and interface with the car's speed...

Take some tips from someone in the trade. Defrag provides no performance increase in most modern computers. http://www.techbuilder.org/article.htm?ArticleID=47626

Thanks all for the advice. I'm surprise SweetSpot hasn't replied. Perhaps I should also add that I'm an Ihp-140 owner. ;-) jpelg, I am well-aware of some of the great restaurants in the New Haven area. I have a penchant for Mexican, and have already discovered Mi Casa and Jalapeno Heaven...

Actually, Long Island might be a possibility, since it would actually be closer to my girlfriend. My GF is already in her first year of residency in New Haven (Yale/HSR). I'd prefer to be closer to New Haven, but I don't think there are many job opportunities for me there (Oracle database...

I'm considering to NYC for 1-3 years to be closer to my GF while she does her medical residency. My GF's cousin lives in Manhattan and pays $1500 per month in rent for half a 2-bedroom apartment. Here in the DC metro area, I live in a co-op apartment I purchased a few years ago. Yes, the...

Do some work better than others, or are they all pretty much the same? I'd want one with rechargable batteries or a DC adapter. I guess smaller would be better, too, with limited in-car storage space.

Rock is fairly decent for me all-around.

The iHP-140 can't record from FM, and I don't think the 120 can, either. They do have pretty good tuners, however. Much better reception than the Rio flash players (the only thing I have for comparison).

It wasn't my intention to hijack this thread, but wow, what a can of worms we've opened here. LOL. I think we owe it to ArcTeryx to get back on topic. Someone needs to mention how dangerous it is to be distracted by music in a hazardous machine shop.

amazon.com often has the lowest price, but their prices change frequently, so it's best to monitor them over time. Currently, you can get the ihp-140 for roughly $6 more than the ihp-120.

Quote: Originally posted by terrymx a side question, which brand of earfoams/earplugs that sell in store do you think is best for noise isolation? These plugs offer a NRR of 34, the highest I've seen. The plugs I usually wear provide a NRR of 33, and are the most comfortable...

Quote: Originally posted by DJGeorgeT Pretty F'ed up if you ask me. No, you should not wear earplugs while riding a bike, a motorcycle or driving a car. It is for the sake of other people's safety if you don't care about yourself! Even with a full-faced helmet, unfortunately, wind...

I've been considering using E3's for motorcycycling, too. Right now I'm using "foamies," which offer about a 34dB noise reduction (it's the wind noise that's deafening, not the sound of the motorcycle, itself). I figure the E2's would offer about 20dB of NR, which would allow me to better hear...

That's an awesome price! The ihp-140 is now within $10 of the price of the ihp-120 at amazon. I had been tracking the price of the Ihp-140 for about a month now, and just took the plunge last week, when it dropped to the lowest-ever price of $420 at Amazon. I purchased just a couple days too...
