Have you been wondering why the OP has not bothered to respond to any of the
responses?

I would bet my last cent that he is a troll and many have been drawn to the
apparently innocent "come in sucker" question.

And you'd lose.

Terry hasn't been around for a while, but when he was a regular his
posts were always interesting and his demeanor always polite.

Nobody is so dumb that he doesn't
know that such devices are readily available from any number of electronics
