[geeks] Solid State Voice Recorders

[Sheldon T. Hall]

Folks-

My wife wants a new sound recorder for interviews.  She used to have a
mini-cassette recorder, which was OK until it died, but getting another one
like it seems a bit retro, considering ....

Does anyone know anything about this sort of stuff?  She wants something to
use without an external microphone, without having to wave something big in
folks' faces.  Solid state recording, with an easy way to transfer stuff to
her PC for editing and eventual burning to CD.  An hour of recording would
be good.  Mono is fine, since it's only for interviews with individuals.

Cheap but good would be good, too.

Any pointers?
