yes, but then what would sighted people do with all that extra time they have not spent glued to the tv hi hi? one doesn't get adequit news from tv anyway. The audience obviously has a tiny attention span because most news shows spend less then 30 seconds on each subject before racing on to the next one. ide rather use the money i would spend on tv service on online newspaper subscriptions...not only that, rss readers are great things for skimming headlines and accessing websites with timely and accurate information. the written word tends to be so much more informative then some 30 second, or 15 second spot on tv. 73 Colin, V A6BKX ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colleen Roth" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 8:38 PM Subject: Re: breaking news! > > Hi All, > They probably didn't make the boxes accessible because they didn't even > think about blind people watching television. > Personally, I do not think there is much worth watching on Television any > way. > Today I watched the Rriginal Version of the Miracle Worker because I > wanted someone to see it who had never viewed the original one with Anne > Bancroft and Paty Duke. > What a trat! > The only other thing worth watching is the News only because we need to > know what is going on sometimes. > Give me the Walnons, Little House on the Prairie, Dragnet, Gunsmoke, etc. > You get the idea. > The switch is supposed to make better use of the Spectrum. > We should just eliminate most of the junk on TV. > Colleen, N8TNV; > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Robert Clark <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Date: 2009/02/13 00:13:16 > Subject: Re: breaking news! > >> >> >> "Sure wish someone could have thought to make those boxes >> accessible-was >> >> If "they" thought of everything, we would not have anything to >> advocate >> for. ;were >> >> inin---* inin---* inin---* inin---* inin---* >> "Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even >> if >> everyone is for it." >> -- William Penn >> Robert & Dreamer Doll ke7nwn >> E-mail- >> [log in to unmask] >> Home Page- >> http://webpages.charter.net/dog_guide/ > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG. > Version: 7.5.552 / Virus Database: 270.10.19/1941 - Release Date: 2/9/2009 > 6:50 AM > >
