Okay, I'm annoying everyone else around me by whining about this, so I may as well whine here too...
My poor radio is comatose! My poor, wonderful, AM/FM/shortwave/longwave radio! It shows a few signs of life--I turn it on, it tells which station it's supposedly tuned to, displays a bar showing that the station comes in perfectly, indicates that headphones are plugged in (whether they are or not), obediently shows different frequencies when I fiddle with the buttons and knobs... but no sound comes out, whether I'm using headphones or not.
Fortunately, the clock & buzzer still work fine, so I don't have to rush out and spend some of my meager cash on an alarm clock. Still, I can no longer listen to the radio and it hurts. Sure, I dearly heart LAUNCHcast and other Internet radio sites, but now I can't listen to news or music when I'm waiting for a phone call, or when the power is out, or when my connection speed is ridiculously slow (as it so often is).
Waaaaah!
Okay, end of the whine. Now I must get offline to wait for a phone call.
