Hi folks, I am going to have to purchase a new PC. I have some rather old speakers on my very old PC, and I’m going to get rid of them. There about half shot anyway. So I wonder what folks are using on PCs these days that actually sounds good. I’m talking to a custom builder, and he was talking

Hi John, Yes, with the fire tv stick, you can access netflix and see categories of movies, go through lists etc. When I first got the tv stick, sign in was not accessible. Now it is, according to other blind people; since I got sighted help for my initial sign in, I haven't had to do that again,

Nice idea. But if you have a Mac and a bunch of music in the Apple cloud, it's not practical. You can't Chromecast anything from Apple unfortunately. Not that you can't use an Apple device with the Chromecast audio. It's just that you can't Chromecast anything from Apple Music or your Mac
