MK-100 vs. MK-101 vs. MK-101 Pro

Thanks,

First, I agree with everything said above. I list items almost every week on Ebay -- but not to generate a lot of revenue. I use it to build my customer base. Most of the folks who shop regularly on my site found me through Ebay. Between Ebay and Paypal you end up paying a lot of $ to sell your ware...

Hey Gale -- my wife is going. We are sharing a table with a good friend who does excellent lampwork.

I'd hoped to get out there for a day or two -- but that seems unlikely now.

Back to frantically building inventory :)

For those of you in radio wastelands, XM radio is an option. Best Buy had an XM boombox for about $100. I believe its $10 / month for the service. You'll never want for quality music (much commercial free) again.

Music in the studio

Santa brought me a new Dell DJ MP3 player. I've loaded the family's entire music collection (about 5100 songs!). The challenge was how to use it in the studio without subjecting it to the dust, etc. The solution was a Belkin radio transmitter (about $30) that plugs into the earphone and transmits to...
