From 1999, the Rio 500 was one of the first portable MP3 players, if not the first, capable of USB transfer. 64MB internal storage, with a Smart Media card slot for expansion - up to 128MB for later firmware versions. It ran on a mere AA battery.Immature Astrology
Joe Morrow thanks Ludwik for letting him access the first 50 episodes of DGW (there being no direct access or links on TWiT to Episodes 2 to 50, although there are some "lost" pages for Episodes 6-10, Episodes 21-25, Episodes 31-35, Episodes 36-40, Episodes 41-45, and Episodes 46-50).
Joe will be buying the Celestron Skyscout from Episode 2 for his new-found hobby of "immature astrology" and recommends a piece of open-source software called Stellarium, downloadable from www.stellarium.org for Windows, Mac and Linux. Leo talks about Google Earth and Google Sky.
