The total height of the Argo is just under 17.9mm, while the distance from the center of the mounting screws to the stylus tip is 3/8 inch (9.525mm).

This record should help to prepare a woman for the emotional and spiritual experience which is her right, and needs to be fought for, just as much as her right to highly skilled surgery, or pain-killing drugs.

 Dusty Groove America - Search: Argo -- Jazz
Iron City was recorded in 1967, issued briefly on a small label, and then finally pressed for the larger masses during the early 70s by the Cobblestone label.
The recording quality is wonderful -- clear enough to capture the subtleties of Crosby's amazing bass, and the lightly tippling sound of Fournier's drums -- and the CD features both volumes of this historic set, a total of 20 tracks in all.
The sound is spare, sharp, and soulful -- and the record's one of the first small combo bossa dates like this in the US -- a 1962 effort that even predates most of Verve's better known bossa jazz albums of the 60s, and which matches their groovy energy wonderfully.

 Microsoft Argo first look? - PVR Wire
Our esteemed colleagues at Engadget seem to have scooped the first look at Microsoft's Argo PMP, which ruffled a few Mac feathers when I reported on it yesterday.
I have to say, it looks nice; the 16:9 screen looks like it'll top the current 'video-capable' iPod (or the 'widescreen' iPod, which doesn't look like it'll be released any time soon), and while the controls look a bit on the iPod-ish side, the whole thing does have a nice, simple look to it.
I hope this is the fabled Microsoft Argo, it looks almost exactly like something you'd expect them to design - cheap and cheerful, let's hope it really is cheap!
