Tony,

For the other programmes I mentioned:  they are all of them archived on the 
Web, the BBC programmes being available to listen again to for seven days 
after the broadcast.  I've already touched on iPM's transmission time - like 
6.30 on Saturday evening.  Digital Planet on the BBC World Service (and on 
BBC world TV) is broadcast at various times tuesday, at 30 minutes past 'the 
hour', at (our times) 4.30 pm, 8.30 pm (I think), and at 1.30 AM on 
Wednesday.  There may also be one or two other broadcast during Tuesday.  I 
don't know much about the WPR 'podcast' except that it comes out on Fridays, 
and is syndicated on NPR affiliates in America.  I know that brian Dalton 
mentioned Digital Planet before on Talkaround when he did his feature on 
podcasts a few years ago.  I usually capture DP in the podcast.  And as I 
said at the beginning, it is available to play from the BBC site - 
www.bbcworldservice.com - and there search for "Digital Planet".

Hi Flor,

There is certainly or possibly enough there to be going on with!

I have caught two on line shows of Click to date and I must say that I found
them very easy to follow although it was a video!

There is talk all the way through.

I was delighted to have been able to tune in to it as it was another
beginning for me in making the computer "come alive" for me!

My wife was delighted to walk in and see an on line video on the PC!

Do you know if there is an easy place to get the exact times of those shows
you mention besides having to do a gigantic trawl around in sibor space?

Appreciated.

Tony.
