Taken from a PM from another member:
It is an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder WS-321M. I also have rechargable batteries and a charging station because Iuse a battery everyday now. Vanson Speedy Box and rechargable Nickel Cadmium batteies. I will be sewing a strap onto the leather holder so I can put it on my belt instead of my pocket.

I would like a replacement for my Sony, as it is very difficult to get the audio files onto the computer and it isn't the smallest thing in the world.

Anyone have experience with a good, SMALL recorder? I would love something that I can just throw on a lanyard and comfortably wear around my neck.

My requirements are super small, MP3 format, and USB connectivity.

Enter this number into your cell phone 1-603-413-0411
This is porcupine 411 and will allow you to record for an hour in an emergency situation. the call is then sent to thousands of members monitoring the voicemail. The service is free and is a great back up.

I'm giving up on my cheapo recorder pen (stupid POS is breaking down) and I ordered a Olympus 6200PC today. Best value for the money, I guarantee. Amazon has it for $50 shipped.

I plan to order a belt holster from somewhere or make one myself.
