Nice bundle. Thanks for sharing
What a generous person you are, Rick, to share so much of your treasured time and talents. Thank you!
Gayle, you make me blush. I am disabled and I enjoy very much giving to others. Many of our members are disabled or otherwise unable to secure the listening material that gives their life substance and joy. I am just helping to give them access to it. ----------------- Rick
Rick,
You have mentioned that you are disabled. I disagree. You may have a limitation, but:
You are able to find programs to share;
You are able research the programs for source, content, narrator, actors, etc,;
You are able to add them to your computer from the source;
You are able to upload them to the net;
You are able to provide almost unlimited entertainment (limited only by our time availability) to hundreds, if not thousands of OTR fans.
You are one of the most ABLED individuals of whom I am privileged to be aware.
Mike
You are very kind Mike. Thank you for that. I am just doing what makes me happy and that is giving to others. ---------- Rick
