On 29 March, there were 392 items in the 'Guardian', 165 in the 'Western
Mail' and about 80 in the 'economist', (published and read on that day but
usually delivered on the previous day). Even if physically possible (I look
at papers periodically during the day and have neither time nor inclination
to go through a whole paper at one sitting)), going through those papers
item by item to identify what needed to be read would be a totally
ridiculous and mindless exercise, particularly when excellent informative
contents pages have been available in years past. Their absence and the
lack of efficient navigation can render a good newspaper virtually
worthless. Its far too high a price to pay for an innovation designed to
enhance my 'social interaction!

Dear Donna
The email service will be reintroduced soon.
Guide works on the web. To use the NTNM service you need to use the full
browser rather than the text only browser.
When in the browser you can press function key 1 for help on how to use
the web function of Guide.
When you select the browser you will be taken to the address box type in
rnibnass.cloudapp.net/newspapers
On the log in page tab to username text box and type your username. Tab
to password text box and type your password. Press enter. You will be
taken to the categories page. There you can choose magazines, national
or regional newspapers. Press enter on the link you want.
If you go to the national newspapers page there are a number of
newspapers listed as links. Choose the one you want.
It is easier to read the html version of a newspaper. To read The
Guardian arrow down or tab to The Guardian link and press enter. On the
following page are various versions. Tab or arrow to The Guardian link
and press enter. On the next page tab or arrow to the guardian html
version and press enter.
This brings up the whole newspaper as a web page. You can arrow through
the newspaper or tab from link to link. An easy way to read the paper is
to use the h key to move from article to article. When you press the h
key each article name is read. If you like the article you can then use
the arrow keys to move through the article. Press h to move to the next
article.
At the top of the page is a back link. To exit the guide web browser
press the escape key and type exit then enter.
I hope this helps you. Please try it and ask for any more help on the
forum.
