Be careful with these only because one of the main packages that run these
called Spire I think has not updated to work with IOS 5 and it says in Lydia
that they are not going to.
Just make sure to check everything out before you buy anything huh.
I have had some friends buy the key for sir only to find out that they can't
even run it because the package doesn't work.
I sent the Podcast link out last night and it should be up on iTunes
now for those of you who want to download it. Just search How to be Blind in
downcast or whatever else you use to find it.
have a great day!
