PHILIPS CD Sound Machine - AZ1852

 

 

In a sudden bout of oniomania - no, it has nothing to do with onions although I am rather fond of cheese-and-onion sandwiches - I bought a PHILIPS soundmachine which will allow me to copy cassettes to a memory stick. It does not - and the brochure didn't make this clear - copy cassettes onto CD. Instead, it can copy a CD onto a cassette but who wants to do that?

The old cassettes I speak of are mainly audio books: A Fortunate Life by A.B. Facey; Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder; The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers; Taim Bilong Masta; and many others. Several of those "books" conveniently fit onto one memory stick.

 

Studies show that married men live longer than unmarried men. Some men say it just feels longer.
