Neil,

I'd like to ask 2 questions: How do you manage to get an entire link
in your messages without running into trouble at line end? Also, how
would I go about doing paleontology on my own posts?

Thanks,

Norm Strong

Are there any decent portable powered speakers available
today, good for
music?

You might want to look at the responses you got when you posted
this
same question previously in this newsgroup:

Of course I looked at the responses from when I once before asked
about
powered speakers. (I did not actually purchase any at that time
though.)

However, that thread was literally years ago, and models of
electronic
equipment continually change.

Not to be picky, but it was last November, and looking at the URLs
in
the helpful posts you received then, I see most of the same gear is
still available. So you might want to look at those URLs again:

From the posts in the above thread, here are some of the brands
recommended that are also on eBay:

Some brands you might want to look at that might not be mentioned in
the November thread are Edirol and Roland. I think they've got
portable speakers that would be rugged enough for your needs. I
assume
they have web sites.

For instance, as I mentioned, I believe more
than one person in that previous thread mentioned the "Powered
Partners"
brand of powered speaker as the best kind. Now, they seem to have
been
discontinued.

Those were first sold under the Acoustic Research (AR) brand name,
then under the Advent brand name. Assuming they're discontinued,
you
could probably eventually find a good used pair on eBay. Recoton
owns
Advent now, I think, so you might use that info to search the web
for
info and dealers.
