[gui-talk] FW: Press Reader

[Debbi Williamson]

Thanks, Mike.  I didn't mean to seem impatient.  But, I am certain I came
across that way.  I am not impatient with the list but have been
disappointed at the lack of response from the Pressreader customer service
and the editor of the newspaper.  I guess I sort of realized that folks on
this list, who are usually very helpful to me, probably didn't respond
because they didn't know the answer.  But, I was more afraid I wasn't asking
the right questions.  So, sorry if I came across as impatient.  While I am
frustrated, it is with the situation not the kind people on this list.
Thanks for explaining about RSS.  I have heard the term but really didn't
know what it meant.

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
