Yes, seasons greetings to all, I picked up war of the worlds, the original broadcast by Orsen Wells on that site and there is so much more. Did anyone hear yesterday's morning Ireland's newspaper review, anyone know the name of that U.C.C. lecturer who wanted to divert funding from accessibility for disabled students and give it to promising able bodied students? I ask myself does he believe in Euthenasia as well and natural selection? Gerry Shanahan

Hi all - In the spirit of Christmas, I just thought I'd pass on some listening recommendations. This may already be familiar to many of you, but the site <archive.org> offers a very large archive of free, "classic" (i.e., out of copyright) audio recordings, some of which are of high quality. They can generally be downloaded as MP3 files, and you can listen on computer or transfer to MP3 player, iPhone etc. The main entry point is here (URLs follow): <http://www.archive.org/details/audio> Anyone who likes science fiction might particularly enjoy this early BBC adaptation of Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy: <http://www.archive.org/details/IsaacAsimov-TheFoundationTrilogy> Another favourite of mine (though I have not yet listened to this version) is "A Canticle for Leibowitz". Originally written in the Cold War atmosphere of the 1960's, it deals with events after an anticipated nuclear apocalypse; but of course, all sorts of other apocalypses now seem possible, so it's still fairly fresh! It's available here: <http://www.archive.org/details/ACanticleForLiebowitz> Happy listening, and happy Christmas to all, - Barry. =========================================================== The vicsireland mailing list To unsubscribe at any time send a mail to: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith the word "unsubscribe", without the quotes in the subject of the message.To contact the moderator send mail to: tim.j.culhane@xxxxxxxxx For mor information on the Visually Impaired Computer Society visit: http://www.vicsireland.org
