    Much better and much clearer.

    Though, as Edinburghlass mentions, the need to scroll removes some of the spontainaiety. Sorry, maybe I need to get out more too!

    Obviously, I've got something wrong here.:o

    I looked at this page a few days ago as I was looking at balance transfers. It is now much more colourful and easier to read than it was then. That's what I meant.

    Was it meant to cut you off at 9.5 mins? It took around 4 mins to download and buffer at 512K.

    Reading and listening did make this much easier to understand Martin. I thought the overall impact was great, probably best unscripted because it allows your enthusiasm full rein and that is infectious. The warnings had great impact too.



    Have you told RNIB and Talking Newspapers what you are doing with this? I think they would be very interested.



    One problem, my curiosity cannot take it, what were you going to say next? You were right in the middle of a sentence when it cut out? Or is that a problem with my download?

    Nice one :D

    Maybe the broadband and dialup links that load the commentary need to be a lot bigger?

    I was clicking on the blue mutterings banner before I realised the links were just below. :D.

    OK sounds good I'll bold the links

    It shouldn't have cut off at 9.5 mins - which one did you stop?

    Errm, you lost me Martin.

    When I loaded the broadband version, it started to play but the realplayer timer thing showed total recording time as 9.5 mins and that was what I got?

    I'm a techie thickie, please use baby language for best chance of getting information :D
