I belong to a choral group who produced a liturgical choral service at the beginning of the CD era. The CD's sold like hotcakes but the LP records did not. Now we, the choir, have hundreds of vinyl records that is taking up space. Other than using them for skeet shooting, does anyone have an idea what can be done with them? Is there a company that buys them for any reason, or recycles them?

Thanks

I'm getting ready to purchase a 30GB video iPod (upgrading from shuffle) and need some input about the millions of accessories available. We have different music preferences in my house so I need to use headphones and be hands free to get work done. What accessories are best to protect the iPod, be portable and keep the cord out of the way? Are there any good cordless headsets out there?

The photocopier is owned by a Scout group so we don't want to pay a hefty fee for disposal.

I have bought a TV in the UK and wondered if it will work in Australia. Both use PAL rather than NTSC so I cannot see why not however someone told me they are different versions of PAL. Is this correct?

I have an iPod mini, i was having problems with its battery life and so sent it to get repaired. It worked better than it was for a while but is now dying immediately after i have charged it completely (for at least 8 hours). Problem is my warranty has just run out, can i take it back on the grounds that it wasn't fixed last time when it was still in warranty?

It is scientifically proven that EMF radiating from cell phone and other sources interferes in the life-force of human beings! On "searches" I have read about communities which erected radio towers (?in England), many of the towns residents started getting various forms of cancers, dying prematurely, insomnia, tinnitus, DEPRESSION, STRESS, ETC, and even affecting the animals - in this case horses who lived on field very close to the towers. The horses were developing strange symptoms and dying; many without obvious causes. One town only had an am radio tower for a while and still people were getting sick and dying...the problem just got worse, after they erected an FM tower too! Cell phones emit EMF, but not suprisingly, when I went to my cell phone provider, to find devices to cancel-out the EMF (I know they exist) they (are probably trained) look at you with DUH, PUZZLED LOOKS, LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.I'm surprised they dontLIE &saythephonescurecancer!

I'm looking to build a Sine, Square and Triangle waveform generator based upon the ICL 8038. Pre-etched PCB would help. Frequency range 100Hz-100KHz. RS no longer stock the chip and likewise Maplins. Self-assembly kit preferred.

The SHARP Service Centre needs 2 to 3 weeks to repair it. That's too long for me. I guess the camcorder has eaten the tape. Anyone can help me?
