[Richard Cuff <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Both the 2010 and 7600G are excellent radios...I know I can't part
with my 2010 even though I have the Eton E1.

If I were limited to only one of those, I think I'd keep the 2010...

Hopefully the Internet Radio group will be useful for folks...allowing
for a discussion of technologies and experiences relating to the
devices themselves as well as the content one listens to on them.

This way those who have no interest in those technologies don't need
to have their in-boxes filled with discussions about them.

This will be hard for me to do, as I have many good memories using these analog devices over the years, but time moves on...
