I remember watching the Goodies =) My favorite episode was the one where 
they got sealed into the house and accidently popped out in the future=)

I have a dvd read/write in my computer, and both an Ipod and a moto 9M 
so I have no way to do anything with tape or vinyl...I can do cds, dvds 
and various digital audio formats=(  unfortunately the house is very 
small so it would literally be a case of buy a turntable, do a single 
album and throw it away becaus it would have to be set up on the dining 
table or kitchen counter with absolutely no room to store the turntable 
afterwards. I refuse to spend $200 US to rip a single piece of vinyl and 
then throw it away. I really would prefer to mail the disc across the 
world than waste time effort and equipment on a one shot deal...
