The gr8ful grind

Let go of anger; It's an acid that eats away the delicate layers of your happiness

The reverse side has also its reverse side

I should have asked this much earlier - what camera(s) do you use? Also, could you give me a transcript of the interview of Osho? Please? Pretty please?

I don't really have the time to listen to 2 and a half hours of tape and transcribe it. Sorry. But let me see what I can do. Perhaps I can make copies of the cassettes and send them to you.

The film camera I use (not much any more) is Minolta, while the camera I mostly use now is a Sony Mavica MVC-CD500, a 5 megapixel digital that uses miniCds instead of a memory stick. You just take the CD out and put it into the computer like you would any other CD.

Ah. Ok. I didn't know a 5 MegaPixel cam could produce such fantastic results, but then you're also shooting fantastic subjects!

There's an easier way out than sending me dubs of the tape. You could convert from tape to mp3. Plug in your cassette-player (a walkman works just fine) into your computer's soundcard, play the tape and record with any recording software (there's one that comes with Nero Burning ROM, there are some more powerful ones like CoolEdit and Goldwave and AudioForge, there's even one inbuilt into every installation of Windows called "sound recorder). I'm not sure, but I think even Winamp or MusicMatchJukebox (i.e. mp3 players) can record audio. mp3 players like winamp can also convert the recorded audio (which in its raw form is a *.wav file) into a compressed mp3. I suppose you could end up with a low quality, highly compressed mp3 of around 20 MB size (or even less) - that can be uploaded somewhere I can later download from.

You can see from the length of this comment, how intensely I want to hear the interview! It's not as hard as it sounds, perhaps you've even done audio recording before... *sigh*
