As many of you likely have at work, we have a new safety program that passes out awards for keeping all of our fingers and toes. If someone is chosen, they get to pick thru a small catalog of items to be sent home.
The items aren't anything real expensive, but, they're free.

I narrowed my choices down between The Weather Channel Electronic Weather Monitor and this Emerson radio. I already have two electronic weather monitors, so I went with the radio (one can't have too many radios).

The little table radio/cd player looks kinda neat. The little plastic knobs are a little cheesy... but hey it was free! Nuttin better than free! The CD goes in kinda like a record. The little stereo speakers sound pretty decent (considering they're probably little 3" speakers). Of course, it doesn't have that "full-bodied sound" of an actual vintage radio, but it does okay for background music.
