Hi August,

On 2020-08-11 22:26:00, you wrote to me:

 AA> True. It's a total pc/webbased solution.

I didn't check that before, but I don't think so, at least the website says: "Voice is only available in the U.S.", and that's pretty clear. ;)

 WvV>> I hardly see any commercial content that way. Even the adds "in"
 WvV>> youtube video's are gone...

I sometimes download a YT vid, to watch it on my TV with my media player. But I don't take the trouble for most of them...

 AA> BTW, Stas has indicated that he has hooked up to this echo. Hopefully

We'll see. ;)

 AA> He explained a couple of things in netmail. I might write it up as a
 AA> report and post some of it here.

Ok...

Bye, Wilfred.
