When they figure out how to put it in autos, stick a fork traditional radio. Until then it it's only half way there.

I am a big Cupertino fan and I plan on being an early I Pad adopter. But I am aklso happy with my Kindle II as an e reader. Long battery life, awesome storage for e books, right size to travel, easy to read text, and free wireless access make this a keeper. I think the Kindle is here to stay even with the all of the new tablets that are coming out. It's good at what it's meant to do as an e reader, and that's enough for me.

Congragulations to both of you. The adventure begins. It is a great journey with lots of twists and turns. Being a parent is the most important thing you do in life for someone else.

Huesby: I have the GE model. Broken or not, it drifts... a lot. The dial just isn't a little off. It's way off. There was obviously no quality control with this set. Sure the sound is good, but it's not a good product and nothing like the SR II. I paid next to nothing for mine which was slightly used. If I had paid anywhere near even $50.00 for it, I would have returned or sent it back.

Well let's see. The dial calibration on the GESR III is so absurdly bad as to be laughable. The reception drfits on both am and fm worse than the prarie in North Dakota in January. It's also butt ugly to boot. Other than that it's a great set. Great for having paint spilled on it or for fire hydrant use by the dog.

The GESR II is da bomb. Best $90.00 of radio bucks I ever spent. The GESR III on the other hand totally sucks in comparison.

Get a Super Radio II. I just picked one up on the auction site for less than $100 with shipping. It has a few cosmetic blemishes, but it is a great performer with top flight audio. The tuning dial is much better than my III which in general is a piece of crap. But for 42 bucks, that's about what it's worth.

Just give me your paypal address here along with the total including shipping and I'll send it. You can then ship to my confirmed address. I will be traveling tomorrow and probably won't be able to send it until later in the day.

I am definitely interested in it? Do you take paypal?

Commented Mar 22, 2009 on Appreciating the FM Strength of the Sony ICF-5900 at Herculodge

I am interested in the 5900 for $100.00. Does the pop up antenna work and does it have the battery cover? I assume that it works well on all bands. How is the cosmetic condition?

Been reading for a while. Great blog. First time post. Gotta go with the Panasonic RF-2200. DX monster with good FM and SW also. Honorable mention to the Telefunken Bajazzo. Sounds like a big table radio. Great speaker.
