Hi Andrew.
That's so disapointingAndrew. I'd have thought that visually impaired
people in particular, would like to bundle all this media in one package.
Okay, I can plug a line-in to my hi-fi, but I've been able to do that for
several years, and the quality suffers. I have read many messages from list
members who have successfully accessed the Media Centre, but they may have
some more vision than I and the cost of a media centre in a computer with
all it's associated gadgetry is quite high. I'd hate to end up with a
system that I could not use. Have you by chance ever listened to the Media
Centre Demonstration piece on the Blind Tech List? I cannot remember the
guy's name but he was able to listen to his CD collection and watch the USA
version of SKY, all in one package. That's what I'd love to do Andrew but
perhaps you are right. It will be a few years yet before accessibility is
up to it.
