Getting back to JAWS 9, was re: podcasts

Hi. RSS is what a podcatching program like Juice looks at to determine if new shows are available. RSS is what makes podcasts what they are. Please, everyone, do not let the term podcast fool you. If it were a perfect world, I would change the word to something like mp3cast, or netcast, but sadly, podcast is here to stay. 
It goes like this.


1. you install Juice or any other program for downloading podcasts.
2. You enter a specific address for a podcast into the podcatching client, and then it shows you what episodes are available. You can choose to download only the most recent show or all of them the choice is yours. 3. You download the podcasts onto your hard drive and then you can do whatever you like with them, listen with Winamp or real player, or transfer them to a portable device. But anyway! I think, folks that we have lost complete sight of what this topic was *supposed* to be about, and that is the content of the podcast itself, the new features of JAWS 9.0, coming very soon just watch the list and you'll know. i personally am not very impressed with what I heard about, it seems like the stuff they demonstrated would be better suited for something like an 8.5 version, instead of a full out 9.0 version. Usually when a version that ends in a 0 is released, you expect a whole ton of features and they didn't show many of those off. But to be fare to them, they did only have an hour and they haven't produced the what's new page or the audio for it yet, so I'm holding off any final ideas about it til then.
I dunno, it just seemed to me likethe stuff they showed wasn't very innovative. But again, we shall see when the whole thing is posted. Maybe they've got some really good stuff coming out that they haven't mentioned yet. So we'll wait to see.
