Everyone on the group is learning and everyone should know that the people
are doing their best when they give information to others regarding the help
they are seeking. Instead of just letting the problem work itself out, from
time to time he gets on a rant about how people do not need to post unless
they are giving out correct information. That would discourage many from
posting in fear that the information they give may be wrong, but they are on
the fence about it thinking that they know the answer. However, Since they
are on the fence even though their answer may be correct the question may go
unanswered. Some times when I ask my questions I purposely ask for both
subjective and objective responses to try and combat this approach. I could
understand it if someone was intentionally providing false information on a
continuous basis, but you know. I never realized he was the person behind
Blindcooltech.
Amanda has said that I act arrogant from time to time when I am
talking to people, but I do not necessarily notice it, maybe sarcastic, but
I do not think it is arrogance. However, I guess that is a fine line that
gets treaded when talking about sarcasm and arrogance.

Well he had a poor mix between his bold intro, and then the discussion of
the particular podcast. He should have used a more toned down intro I think
because compared to the given podcast he sounded tired.
Actually as a person generally he is okay, but like all of us I guess he has
his moments. He did moderate the blind cool tech e-mail list, maybe that is
what made him tired *lol*. He wound up with his hands full with that list.
I joined the blind apple group, but it is already shunted into it's own box
and I haven't gone and read any of it yet.
Guess if he turns up arrogant if I can't humble that I will probably
eventually leave because I really don't want to waste my time with folks
like that, to many other things in life to take care of that are a lot
harder decisions. Maybe that's arrogant on my part. I've been accused of
being that way before by one person, but that person has no credibility with
me as far as I'm concerned. That particular person's record speaks loudly
for itself.

I am not a big fan of the Rickster, he seems a bit arrogant on his e-mail
groups. I have visited his website a time or two though. He may be an
alright guy, but first impressions go along way with me.
I wonder why he wouldn't have paused the recording and come back when he
regained composure.

I know of The Rickster-Rickster-Rickster-Rickster-Rickster. Yes he called
himself that on one of his blind cool tech podcasts in his canned intro.
hyped up the upcoming podcast with a fancy intro then when he started
talking in it it sounded like he was exhausted. But I am subscribed to his
blind geek zone podcast. Guess I didn't explore the website enough to find
the group. But guess I'm covered since I have a phone and a couple of macs.
I can even talk vintage or retro macs since we do have a working G4 Mac here
across the room from me *lol*. Those G3s and G4s internally were built like
little tanks, they just keep on going. Not as frail as the Intell chips
they use now.

Even if you have to copy the unsub info from the footer that would work, I
can edit that to subscribe easy enough.

Unfortunately my Mac devices are phone and computer. Have never dealt with
an i-pad in any way. Might be a question to ask over on Visionaries though,
bet a bunch of them have them.

Do any of you all use Amazon? We just purchased a new iPad last night.
Amanda was debating between the Kindle or iPad so we settled on an iPad with
the Kindle Application for IOS. She wants to get her textbooks to read
through the app, but we have never done this so if anyone has used it then
any feedback would be great. Additionally, we found that the iPad does not
come with a voice recorder, but again she is wanting to use it for school.
So, do any of you all know of a good recorder for the IOS device?
