I looked at the mozilla idea and did some reading up and it would seem that its not quite ready for that yet. And as for my 3 daughters, they as of yet wouldn't know how to go around the browser.
What is the deal with the dns thing. Keep in mind that im like cornel klink. I KNOW NOTHING!!

After that it is pretty easy to post to the website with a flash player (I know it is evil, but the code is open source at least).

I had to do some shopping around for one of these in my last job so I can offer some insights if you like. It was being used for board meetings & the price was actually pretty reasonable for the unit they did get. As an alternative, could we not jut get an mp3 player with recordability on it? I would imagine they would be pretty inexpensive for a one or two GB unit.

A Firefox add-on is a possibility. Here is one, but I have not tried it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5881 Obviously, if your kid wants to avoid it, they will just open up another internet browser... boy, that takes me back. -Mark C. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca End of clug-talk Digest, Vol 55, Issue 6 **************************************** _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
