I have a real liking for a forum that is great if you're moving - there's a forum for each state, and for the UK, Canada, Mexico and "World," and I've found it can be really helpful if you have questions about a certain area of the country.  You'll find rubbish type posts occasionally; you'll find that absolutely everywhere.  But generally, they are very good.  And what I like even more is the general forums...you can find a place to discuss almost anything you want there, there are so many different headings, and I enjoy reading there very much.  Books, politics, relationships, movies, finance, mortgages, etc., etc.  http://www.city-data.com/forum/  The key to its success seems to be the fact that there is a lot of participation.

Well, it's a year later now from the last post, LOL, but that YadaByte's portable apps link is great.  I can't wait to try out several programs there!  Thanks!

I actually use wireless headphones for my work right now called TV Listener.  Yes, years ago there was a commercial for them on TV.  But they aren't just for television, but any audio device.  They are excellent!  I love them.  They come with a volume adjuster right on them and run on batteries, of course.  You do have to have the transmitter thingy in the right place, though.
