Well, It seemed pretty claer when I played it back
after recording it.  Unfortunately it was 11M!  And
Geocitiese only allows a 5M upload.  So, my younger
borther helped me open it in another program and
re-save it as a mono at 8bits instead of 16 stereo,
which brought it down to the current 2M.  I'll try
again.

I was about 9 inches from the mic.  I'm affraid that
any closer will mean a recording of big puffs of air
at every plossive.

Is that freeware by any chance?

I'll have to rummage through this 'puter some more and
see if there is a program on here that can do MP3's.

Sorry for the shoddy quality.
