Recording Device.

Some would fold 4 into 5, but if you stay separate there are five:  Fieldcr=
aft, technique,
microphone, preamp, recorder.  Accordingly, when we discuss digital recordi=
ng devices,
we discuss something that may be 1/50th to 1/100th as important as discussi=
ng where
and when to go to record nature, and something that is not nearly so import=
ant as
microphones.

This is being offered as a good natured suggestion to prioritize the import=
ance of topics,
without taking away the extremely fun "gear talk," that comes from our arch=
etypal
appreciation for tools.
