My dad has struck again--I keep trying to tell him we need to put a moratorium on technological gifts until I can catch up to all technology he's given me over the past five years.

When I got home last night, I was presented with a Boss Micro BR digital recorder. I haven't opened it yet because I'm afraid that, like the iRiver, the Nikon, and Finale before it, it will be smarter than I am and I'll never learn to use it. I have ZERO recording experience. ZERO. I don't even know the terminology.

I've looked for online reviews from actual users (not commercial reviews) but it appears that the thing hasn't been out long and I can't find many. Has anyone used this, or do you know anyone who has, and what is the learning curve?
