[BC] Netbooks and audio

[Broadcast List USER]

YES!  MacBook Air, and a USB cellular data dongle.  Of course, a real  
laptop will work too.

It works GREAT.  Record your file, edit it, and FTP or e-mail the  
edited file.

Easy, light and small.

It works for limited video too.  The problem is that the cellular  
data dongle is just too slow for big video files.
