beginner Advice

["Lance" vcw63]

Can any of you experts give me advice on the CHEAPEST minidisc recorder so I 
can use it with 
my PowerMac? 

Is it really necessary to buy the expensive Sony MZRH-1 for over $300 ?  Or is 
there some 
other one you might recommend?  unfortunately I'm in France , so I can' t get 
all the models. 
I'd love to get the Sony MZ RH-1 but it's purty expensive.  I'd once heard 
Sharp had some 
good ones compatible with Mac. Still true ?

Isn't ther anyone there who uses a mac and a cheaper portable recorder? I just 
want to record 
sounds and upload them to  my PowerBook. I'm not too interested in putting MP3s 
onto my 
recorder.

Any help greatly appreciated.
