Sure you can, but you never mentioned it. Am I to blame for this?
Just wondering....

Scouty, you didn't say you were using it in a classroom. You said you
were
using it on your boat at anchor.

Free is good too Ganzy, but I also wanted to use some of these in my
classes, and nothing spells trouble in a public school like
reprinted
materials with no proof of purchase.
I do have a huge collection of MP3's; some downloaded, some I made.
Two
summers ago I purchased a Creative Sound Lab External Ripper/Burner
and
converted my personal music collection (about 300 or so CD's) into
high
quality MP3s; I plug my laptop into my boat's sound system and then
enjoy
listening to Antonio V. while slicing across the bay. God I love
technology
(in spite of what Mr. Einstein said about it).

How about for free... get newsrover at newsrover.com. It's free,
then
you can download mp3s from the web for free, and burn them to a
CD.
I have the complete Nightfall series (16 CDs) by Asimov for
example.
You can find a bunch of music as well.

After dropping sail and anchoring for the night, I love to spend
my
time
reading. Books are heavy though and take up valuable space - but
now
I
can
take my library to sea with me! I just loaded more than 2000
classic
books
on CD, which I purchased at www.4literature.net for about $20.
What
a
bargain!

Ok, I'll look for that and the Anne Rice book. I've read all of Mary
Rennault's books, they are very detailed and subtle not "light weekend"
reading... well worht re-reading IMHO. You might like 'The Mask Of
Apollo' which is about a family struggle (lots of other stuff going on
too of course). Her nonfiction book about Alexander is great.

I just finished reading a translation of some of Demosthenes, he reminds
me curiously of Rush Limbaugh. I guess there is nothing really new under
the sun.

Thanks for the tips.

Ours never did either....but they're all avid readers, so I don't think =
it bothered them much...

Have you read "The barbarians are coming"?

If you haven't, then do a Google. Some things never change.
