You asked that if we used Newsline that we pass along our thoughts
to you.  I checked it out on Saturday, November 3, 1990 and was
quite impressed.  T.V. listings are of interest to me and I found
that they were arranged quite nicely.  As there is so much
information for T.V. listings it would not be good to have to wead
through the entire list.  Why not use a similar approach in the
columnists rather than putting them in one block.  If I wanted to
see what Ann Landers had to say for example it would be nice to be
able to access that column directly.  The readers were quite good
I particularly liked the one who did the weather for Saturday,
November 3, 1990.  In a volunteer situation one can't expect all
readers to be that good.  Your menus were quite helpful but brief.
I was also impressed with the audio clarity.  If I lived in the
Albuquerque area I would definitely subscribe.  This beats a Radio
Reading Service all to heck and back.  David, this system is much
better than the one in Michigan.  You've got a good thing going.
Keep up the good work. Grant
