Building computers is definitely an acquired skill, and takes patience, persistence, and perspiration. I know, I've been doing it for forty years, back when you used to buy kits from Radio Shack and build these things on breadboard-style circuitboards and wire them with wire-wrap tools. As technology progressed and got smaller, we all just got used to manipulating smaller and smaller bits. I'm not sure I could place a processor properly in its receptacle, but if you practice with junk and burned-out components that make no never-mind if you break them, you can learn the skill. There are plenty of opportunitites to do it, because there are plenty of folks who have hardware they're just dying to commit to the local dumpster you can play with and learn on.
Now, as for your podcast link, thank you so very much for posting it. I've been wondering about iOS7 and what it has to offer, not only the Voiceover-user community of iPhones, but generally. The person who produced it seems to know what they're on about, and I'm sure they didn't divulge anything they should not have, elsewise they'd be in hot water with Apple for sure. Looking forward to the real release. On Sat, 24 Aug 2013 21:15:59 -0700, you wrote: >HI All, > >Earlier today I came across the following podcast demo from the Cool Blind >Tech website.
