Glad to help. I know not everybody clicks links, which I understand for security reasons, but really? Not to be flippant, but wouldn't it have cost less time to simply click the link and find out? It took me about thirty seconds to know what I wanted, rather than not finding out and wanting someone else to tell me.
Also, not everybody on the list are blinks. We do have a few squints. My wife Denise is a squint, and I told her of this app. Blinks are totally blind like me, squints are partially sighted like Denise. -----Original Message----- From: Jewel [mailto:herekittyk...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 12:14 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: An Interesting iPad App Not everybody clicks links just because they're given.
