    I am on broadband and even that took well over a minute to load the file. Still, it was worth it. I had briefly scanned this week's money tip before listening to the audio and found it very helpful to not use my eyes to read, but my ears to listen to the info that Martin was giving. Even if I did not read the article beforehand, I would still find the audio helpful. Really easy to assimilate the info this way, and Martin has structured the comms in such a way that it gives you just enough info to understand the topic, and then refers you to the written article for more info. I really like it. Besides, this is a bit more interactive and fun. Something different.

    Am now looking forward to next week's mutterings ......

    Ditto that! I am terrible for skim reading and missing stuff so is good to have someone 'telling me' whats there!

    For 'raw stuff' it was damn good :D
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    We're going to work on the download score. We had big problems recording it tonight - which is why i had to just go for it, no script, just chatter. It is aimed at people with broadband, its very difficult to compress it smaller.

    worked fine for me and I like the idea of it although it does have the feel of an evangelical american local radio station

    MMMMSE?
