Oh well, I shouldn't have been so logical and start from the top should I! The bottom was obviously a better choice! Yes, please, tell us what you find when you get it. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of kevin and emma Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 8:11 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: talking remote control hi, by sheer blind (no punn intended!) fluke, i found the remote without doing a search. i tried the links in reverse! smile. i.e. bottom to top. and got to it on the 2nd or 3rd try. it is a nasty site though! jfw tells me each link starts with a strip!! *smile* could really create the wrong image in an active imagination! ... but enough of that! grin. i too have ordered one so let's see if they're all they're cracked up to be! kevin - co-owner/moderator of the blind gamers discussion list contact me on kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 2:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: talking remote control Kevin, I don't think I'd bother. The site is even worse than the one I found the other day . . .. It took me ages (and only a "by chance" word search) to find any of the items they had for sale. (I hadn't followed Dave's search as I wanted to see just where I could get with the site.) They say it's easy to shop etc. and I am really very tempted with this one to show them up because the links are so meaningless! I started going through them all systematically and on almost every page I found "Sorry, no offers in this area", or words to that effect. Dave, just tell us if you have any joy with this handset. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of kevin and emma Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 2:31 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: talking remote control sounds interesting. pity there isn't any sort of demo about what the "human voice" sounds like. tempted to take a look though! kevin - co-owner/moderator of the blind gamers discussion list contact me on kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Russell" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Access-Uk@Freelists.
