crazdgamer,

Sometime in June [some_guy] will hold a Youth Forum in the Media center. We need the event to be recorded. Do you have recording equipment as well as a microphone?

What type of recording do you need?

We have a video camera which we use for press conferences.

We don't have any audio recording devices, however.

We were looking for tape recording.

A tape recording? No kidding!

(WHAT KIND OF TAPE YOU DUMMY? THE KIND YOU LISTEN TO, OR THE KIND YOU LOOK AT AND LISTEN TO?)

I think it's Cello-tape, myself. :)

FWIW, a quick audio recording device can be bashed togather with a laptop running windows with a mic or line-in audio, and a copy of audicty or some other recording software.

it works well enough.

Microfeche Tape, maybe?

I seriously doubt this event is going to be archived for prosperity.

Stenographers use paper tape...

Hey, maybe you can cobble together a laptop, a mic and a few other bits and 'record' it onto punch-hole paper-tape.

Tell 'em it's more stable than magnetic tape.
