News Wire: Rick Harmon joins us on Monday, February 14 2011 to demonstrate Hope the accessible interface for Pandora radio written by Christopher Toth the developer of Qwitter on the Windows PC platform. Rick will show us how the program works to make the Pandora service 100% accessible. This program costs $10 and is available to persons in the United States only due to Pandora restrictions. The Hope program can be purchased by going to:

He will show us how to do many things on the device such as opening programs and switching between programs, surfing the net, downloading apps from the app store, typing text without ever touching the screen of the device. This not only makes using the devices easier in many ways but it also may open the device up for use by persons that may not be able or desire to use the devices otherwise. Rick will take questions from the audience after each presentation.
