Hello. I'm sure everybody knows about this site:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programme...ne/default.stm

I think it is pretty good.

- It keeps you up-to-date, of both the purely technical and the business side of the IT industry;
- their language is in the right measure of 'techie' but not 'dumbfounding techie';
- I find it fairly unbiased regarding O.S.s, although some may think they tend to concentrate too much on MS;
- I regret they don't talk enough about Linux - strange, coming from the UK / Europe;
- I can have it playing on my computer in the background while I do other things, like reading a book.

Do you know of the other tech sites that offer audio or audio-visual news ?

MSDN-TV is really - really boring, not the topics but their delivery.

CNET-TV is not of my liking - they push hardware too much.

BRgds

Thanks, Timeparadox, Happy Easter.

I like "Fawlty Towers" - PBS is showing it now sometimes; "I, Claudius", I have it on DVD now; and also, many, many years ago, I saw on TV a BBC production of "War and Peace" - excellent acting! Unfortunately I haven't seen it scheduled on TV again since.

Cheers
