Hi,
The DC Night Out blog and podcast now has a recording of much of the BITS
(Blind Information Technology Specialists) Assistive Technology Vendor Show
Case which took place at the Jacksonville ACB (American Council Of The
Blind) convention on Sunday July 9th. The showcase is a meeting in which
leading assistive technology companies make 5-10 minute presentations about
their products and/or what is new. You will likely find both familiar and
new companies as you peruse the 2006 showcase of 18 vendors. The vendors
also describe special promotions available during the consumer conventions.
The show entry also has links to the 18 web sites of each of the presenting
vendors.
The show is approximately 2 hours and 17 minutes, and the mp3 file is about
64MB. You can click on the link below to access the text and show directly:

ast/
If you click on the "download or listen," link from the above web page, in
most cases, the file will just start playing in Windows Media Player. Your
computer should start playing the file almost immediately, it does not need
to first download all 64MB.
If you want to download the podcast via an RSS feed, the feed URL is:

While you do not need any particular software application to manually listen
to podcasts, the Juice Podcast receiver is a program that will automatically
download podcasts of your choice on to your computer. You can then listen
to programs on portable devices, or when disconnected from the internet.
You can download Juice from the link:

Other shows may also be recorded and posted from the convention at the
blog/podcast home page:

Note that BITS also made an official recording of the showcase directly off
of the sound system, and if you join the group I believe that a tape or
other audio will be provided. with some or all of this presentation.
