Neat is nice for toys, but how about more useful functionality for our screen-reader? If we are going to have this FSCast feature, how about including a download button, so we can get on with our daily business and listen to it at a later time? Never thought of Jaws as a podcatcher though. HTH, Rick Justice

I will tell you what I thought was a humorous experience. I was doing an internet show on The Global Voice and as I was beginning to introduce the show, all of a sudden Jonathan's intro came up and there was Jonathan for the world to hear. It gave me a chance to explain one of the benefits of Jaws 17. Plus it gave FS some free publicity.
