Good product

"Argos were efficient with book and collect, and well priced.
The Unit - The little I have used it so far shows that it records quite well for a small relatively inexpensive unit and also can record several hours, good for recording meetings. I would have liked a more controllable system of fast forward / fast rewind. If you record a 2 hour meeting you can't go to listen to a piece at 1h 45 or so without having to play it at double speed forward thus waiting about 50 mins to get there. Otherwise a good product.
