Hi! Some very odd things happened here in the last 30 seconds, I realised that I hadn't replied to all of Gordon's point in his last message on this subject so I went to look in the "Sent Items" folder, edited the message I'd sent and then it just vanished it seems into thin air, can't find the original message in the thread from Gordon either so will have to start again.
Gordon made a point about his Plextalk Daisy Player being old technology? Well maybe it is but that's not something we all should be concerned about, well designed technology stands the test of time and the Plextalk machines are very well designed and engineered, I've used a couple of them myself. All the technology dealers I know of are still recommending that people buy Plextalk Pocket machines even though they're rather old and slow, they recommend these machines over the new Victor Reader stream which is rather telling. The "Daisy Pi" I've been writing about? Well yes, the technology that runs it isn't all that powerful, the Raspberry Pi has the power of a Pentium II computer or thereabouts so that doesn't come anywhere near the power of some of the latest computers or even PDA devices but - running well written software- it has power enough, as well as "Daisy Pi" I use the Raspberry Pi to power other things in my house such as the controller for my Media Server for the entertainment system in my lounge room etc. ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
