shame, the book sense should make wavesespecially with the xt model
having built in memory and all those neat functions in only 4 ounces.
I wonder though how the masses took the mac stuff, of course, the
mac audience would lap it up but in prior years, folk outside the
circle tried to turn it into a square.

The audience at Mac presentations were among the most enthusiastic
of any I saw out there. Marco Zehe's Mozilla presentation got
pretty loud cheers and, like me, this other FS refugee uses a
Macbook as his primary machine.
The only new(ish) book reader getting any play was the kindle and
how Amazon caved in and permitted publishing companies to lock even
the text to speech portions thus making most content inaccessible
to us again.
Happy Hacking,

so you weren't impressed with the book sense?
My head is always spinning and It didn't take not going to csun to
make it happen. I'm interested in knowing more about the apple
presence particularly how it was received by the masses.

I think that some of our heads are still spinning from CSUN which
went pretty much non-stop for a solid week. The Apple
presentations were very good and I learned a number of things.
Mike also let me handle the new iPod Shuffle which was the size of
a piece of Trident chewing gum and uses the speech features we
enjoy on the Nano for all users, blind or otherwise.
For the most part, though, this CSUN was, in terms of public
announcements and the like, pretty dull. Sure, Code Factory made
a screen reader for Blackberry and having another set of phones
from which we can choose is nice but not earth shattering.
The conference had no real "buzz" about anything in particular
other than, after 20 years at the LAX Marriott, CSUN will be held
in San Diego next year. As many of us blinks have grown to know
our way around the Marriott, all of us will need some level of
mobility training at the new hotel which can turn into a pretty
ugly scene with all of the dogs, sword fights and just plain old
disorientation in a crowd of 5000 conventioneers.
