I’m addicted to a device called the Radio Your Way LX. It’s made by Pogo and is an MP3 player with a built in AM/FM Radio and speakers. It’s the AM radio that I really love about this device and of course it’s ability toplay MP3′s. I hardly use the speakers as they’re not very powerful, so instead I use ear buds. If it was possible, I would have the LX welded to my side and the earbuds grafted to my ears. This model is now discontinued, but a replacement will be coming out sometime this year. Apple got upset with them because they thought it looked too much like the iPod. Bad Apple, Bad!
Anyway. I recently ordered some accessories from the makers of this device. However, they wanted a WOPPING US$50 for delivery. I asked on a forum, that I frequent for the RYW LX, if anyone would be happy for me to send the items I needed to them, and then, have them forward these items to me. Thankfully I received a positive response from one of the regulars to this forum; Big Ed!
I liaised with Ed and he allowed me to forward the items to his place. He even sent me the items for FREE at a personal cost to him of US$7.50 not to mention the time he took going to his local post office and packaging etc. How nice is that? It’s a darned sight less than the US$50 Pogo wanted though and I’m really grateful to Ed.
He also sent me a picture:
Someone had stolen his garbage can and his beer. He got them back!
Don’t mess with Big Ed!
Ed is from Texas and he has a heart of gold. He seems like a really nice man from the little correspondence I’ve had with him. I hope we get to keep in touch.
