			Liz,

I was interested in your comment about the burgeoning online presence 
in the industry. At my newspaper, we're beginning to run streaming 
audio - and soon streaming video - of important local stories. I know 
nothing about editing interviews with digital recorders; my radio 
experience goes back to the days of cassettes, when you wound the 
tape to the place you wanted the news director to play on the air and 
wrote "intros" and "out-tros." I'm wondering if there will be easy 
ways for reporters to put electronic markers on the digital recording 
to locate the good parts. I most likely won't be editing for the Web, 
but certainly will be recording for audio interviews. (Are there 
digital recorders that have features to add a beep tone heard when 
the machine is in fast forward or fast rewind, and does that even 
matter when the editor most likely will be looking for visual and not 
auditory clues?)

Always enjoy you all so much!
