We have no bleed over, and you can pick it up on a regular fm radio. It is really nice. Walter, excuse me for jumping in here but somewhere I read about a radio service for the blind in Europe which sends a full days news and other general information to home computers so that the receiving party can pick out what he or she wants from the various newspapers, etc. That's my idea of the best system. Next to that one I like yours in New Orleans. Ted -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!129!89.0!Ted.Young Internet: Ted.Young@p0.f89.n129.z1.fidonet.org

Now, you could say, that they should learn, but unfortunately I think that a majority of blind people probably or elderly, and that would put them at a disadvantage. It would be nice to have both. Naturally it would be better if we could control what we want to read. Walter -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!396!5.18!Walter.Siren Internet: Walter.Siren@p18.f5.n396.z1.fidonet.org
