When all else fails, Toppers relies on helpful radio carts like this one to carry it through difficult times. The Toppers headphone official stereo jack is broken. A new cromputer needs to be prurchased. Until a Radio Shack is located within a fifiy mile radius, and a sturdy American-made computer (preferably a desk top and a Gateway) can be purchased with rolls of nickels (phone number helpfully written on teh paper roll for verification) , we will be relying on this cart, chock full of  90% "new" music, to fulfill our duties as members of the Boston Free Radio community abroad.
