Hello Lisa, I am not sure about Smarfware, but there are accessible RSS reader around. The one in Internet Explorer seven does not seem to be very good. There is a set of programs that are accessible, for RSS reading, Pod Catching, internet radio tuning, BBC radio guide and so on. You can get it at: http://www.webbie.co.uk If anyone knows a better piece of software, then, much better! :) --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Question about RSS feeds.
