I did see the device in question and, baring in mind that we were all on dialup in those days, it worked very well. Probably a bit on the large side by these day's standards though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx>

George did indeed show such a device at Sight, though I never saw it. But RNIB got mixed up in it so the whole thing went down the tubes. Sorry to be scathing, but actually I'm just saying what a lot of people feel, and who never get the opportunity to trial or have input, just watching the thousands of pounds being wasted.Jackie----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Beasley" <p.beasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 4:00 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Access to Internet RadioI can remember George BEll demonstrating a talking internet radio at Sight Village about 6 years ago. You selected the country and having done that, you were presented with a list of stations. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iain Lackie" <ilackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 3:49 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Access to Internet RadioI would have thought that listening to radio on the internet only would makea product that many of us would very much like to have. Fairly basic research would I think have proved this.

The product is already being released in the UK. However, we do not envisage people wanting to listen to radio stations only. Therefore, we have also included talking newspapers and magazines and books. Maybe that is of interest to you as well. At the moment TNAUK is doing a trial with the ORIONWebbox. I have therefore forwarded your e-mail to Ted Davis of TNAUK , who will undoubtedly contact you and tell you more.
