I am with Carol on this one. Not sure how much time was spent on last
week's In touch about the Exhibition, although I did listen. there were a
few very brief comments, mainly about PDAs and the rest of the item was
talking to people who were not there about why they did not go? They could
have done that on another week and given more time to what was exhibited and
to talk to people who attended.
It does appear strange that In Touch always tries to seek out new equipment,
and when it all appears in one convenient place, they show little interest.
If half as much time were taken up with techy equipment as is expended on
guide dogs, then there would be more3 of a balance.

Doris,
I think you may not quite understand what I'm saying here. I'm talking
about those who don't yet know enough about computers and the internet to
even be interested in podcatching. There are also plenty of other items in
the exhibition which are not specifically hi-tech and it's these that they
certainly ought to be talking about.
