Dane, sounds good.  I saw one called Amis that claimed to work well 
with screen readers but I didn't try it.

complaint about it is that it doesn't automatically open Zip files

contents of the download.


This did take me a little getting used to I have to admit, I had 
been using Voice Dream Reader on my IOS device which handles all 
that stuff automatically, just double-tap on the download and voice 
Dream Reader did the rest, adding the publication to the library 
ready for you to read.

Hi all,



In past years, I've been able to access from Australia, Game Day Audio on a
windows machine from nba.com. This year, I can't seem to find any evidence
of it, only TV streams.



So I would appreciate answers to:

.   Is Game Day Audio available on a Windows or Mac machine and if so
how does one get to it?

.   Is it available through the NBA iOS app?



Guidance will be appreciated.

Tom, free list sounds good.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The hosting for the pc audio list and the domain name will
expire at the end of December. The list software has been
problematic for over a year. Not sending messages to some
people, not allowing some people to send messages to the
list, bouncing messages to valid e-mail addresses, a lot of
trash etc. I'm considering taking the list to free lists. I
don't mind paying for the domain name and hosting of the list
but the support just has not been very good.

I'm open to thoughts and opinions.
