Definitely taking a punt, seems to be a lot of these cheap types of phone available now, don't really see the point in spending more than about $250 on a disposable item like a phone, so if I can get one that performs almost as well as a $1000+ phone them I'm gonna be pretty happy!

A camera. Not a very exciting one but at least I'll HAVE a camera in hand, while I try to figure out if I'm going to invest big money in to a pro grade camera rig.

A few hours set up and fret job and playing well.
Nice! looks like it might be quite loud too.
Likes a good, ringy mandolin I does.
Sure is Slowy, all birch with a maple fretboard. Has quite the bark to it, and I put nickel strings on so quite bright. Now I just have to learn how to play the thing :rofl: (Actually have already got chords and a couple of songs sorted, but my tremolo picking sucks :lol: )

Talk to Ben and Strummers.Those Surf guys have got it nailed.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
