I know it is bad form to correct oneself on a list, but I made an
assumption in my previous response, and we all know what happens when we
make assumptions.  I assumed that the people at the tigerdirect catalog
phone number that I provided would also have access to the
www.tigerdirect.com website from which I pulled the product
descriptions.  Another list member pointed this out to me after he
called the tigerdirect phone number and they were unable to find these
items.  Bottom line is that you may have to order through their website.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

Good Morning listers,

I'm writing to ask if anybody is aware of a device which broadcasts
local (short range) radio signal originating from normal computer audio
output.

I've seen it demonstrated at a local Pittsburgh, PA VIPACE meeting once
years ago, but I thought I subsequently read on this list that it might
no longer be available.

This would be a wonderful thing for me to have now since there is such a
wide range of informational content via the computer.  I live in a
larger house now, and I am frequently not where the computer is, yet
desirous of audio output from it.  The device I saw would allow me to
receive computer audio on any normal radio in the house.

And, while I'm thinking about it, does anybody know the range?  In other
words do I have to consider whether my neighbors might be able to tune
into my narrowcasts?

To summarize, I'm looking for a place where I might purchase such a
product along with related description, pricing and order information.
If anybody has any information on this topic it would be greatly
appreciated.
