[gui-talk] FW: Press Reader

[Mike Freeman]

Debbi:

Most likely you haven't received an answer because no one on this list knows 
the answer.  I know people become impatient with list silence and fear that 
their notes aren't making it but my experience is that silence usually means 
that no list denizen has a clue as to how to help.

An RSS Reader is kind of like a Podcast client except that it's for text. 
Sites that have RSS feeds send out periodic bulletins and your browser can 
be configured to pick these up more or less automagically.

HTH!

Mike
