With that quality and that price, legal podcasting [as opposed to illegal podcasting ;) ] is not far down the road in Kentucky. Thanks for great tips and insights.

I wanted clean audio for this recording and so I think I may have spliced a bit too much. The Snowball was $99.00 and has omnidirectional and unidirectional settings. So it's perfect for blogging as well as capturing conversations around a table. As for OpenOffice, it's an application which is created by the contribution of many many programmers. Their reward is the ability to use an application no one of them alone could have built. Of course, if you like their program, they accpet donations ;-) Hans,

First, Snowball. It sounds great. The only think I noticed is that is seems to skip every once in a while. I don't know if that is the microphone or if that is where you edited and spliced the recording. Other than that, it's great. How much can we expect to pay for something like this? Second, OpenOffice seems like a viable alternative to word and I'll likely try it with my next laptop; however, what's in it for the developer? Why would they give it away for free?
