[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

David Andrews really has something good going there not only for the 
listeners and for the readers.  I agree  with you about readers 
displaying their own feelings.  It is agrivating.  I tried proposing 
the Talking Newspaper here but it didn't get very far.  you see we are 
a bilingual community and it wasn't felt that because of that we would 
get enough response if it were just English or Spanish and the funds 
that were available could only cover one or the other thus they decided 
to expand our Computer Training Center.  That isfine with me it gives 
me a lot ofnew and fun work to do but after dealing with Radio Reading 
Services forthe past several years the Talking Newspaper seems to be a 
much better solution.
It would be interesting to see if one of the large Nonproffit 
organizations would want to take on an 800 Talking Newspaper.  We are 
talking real expense.  Oh well there are lots of ideas out there and 
scant funds available. Grant
