The Logic Off Topic list

i have many fellow songwriters that use MidiDisc recorders when they are
writing.. sony has this small stereo mic that plugs into the 1/8" input
jack...  being that i'm using a TiBook, logic 6.1, MIO2882+dsp... ya'd think
it was time to ditch the use of a rather limited record-time of a small
cassette recorder... anything i should look for among various models...?
any place to purchase from for a good deal?

thanks for the help...
