Hello Mary,

The Icon is truly amazing.  I am very much looking forward to purchasing the
docking station.  I am wondering if any has direct podcast links to npr.org.
When i go up to search for podcasts it says that none can be found.
however, i do know that Npr has audio podcasts.  I do get written articles
for Morning Edition, but i want audio podcasts.  I love to get audios from
Blind Cool Tech.  I also get the Ed Schultz shows.  www.wegoted.com.  Hurray
for the Icon.

Good morning list,

 

Well, you experienced folks won't think this is such a big deal, but as a
new user, I have just gotten wireless to work. I found it works best with an
un-encrypted open connection (yes, I know the hazards, but for now, i've
only got one access point turned on and the only thing accessing it is the
braille+.) At any rate, I just managed to synch the time and date on the
Internet. It's no big thing to all of you experienced users out there, but
when it worked, it dawned on me how truly amazing this thing is! It's such a
little thing, and I know the Icon is even smaller, but it went out to the
Internet, and just think, only a few years ago, you had to have a lap top to
do what this thing just did. 

 

Next step: I plan to get the podcast feeds .opml file into the machine and
start grabbing podcasts.

 

So, all you new users out there, take heart! Just start at the top of the
manual (it's in an HTML file in the mobile manager folder under programs, in
Windows; I think it's also on the braille+ itself.)

 

Catching the bug!!!! and enjoying it!!!!! You were right, Robert Carter--I
am starting to love this thing!,

 

Mary
