[Nfb-web] Roland CD2 Information

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Bryan and listers,

Perhaps the affiliate could consider purchasing this unit for its use. I
know that the Texas affiliate has a digital MP3 Recorder, but am not sure
which one they bought. Certainly if one can get the same bang for less bucks
all the better.
