    I just listened to the latest Screenless Switchers Podcast and found it to be a very comprehensive discussion of ITunes 8. I don’t have an Ipod Nano yet but I enjoyed everything I heard relative to ITunes 8 and the Apple Accessibility site.
    I have a couple of questions, though. First I need to ask a question about the Voice-over: Getting Started podcast. I have subscribed to it but have only received the table of contents and notifications that the rest of the episodes are undownloaded. Do I need to set up a store account before I can download those podcasts or will I be receiving them eventually?
    My other question is about braille displays. If I were to buy a braille notetaker with a braille display would I be able to sync any notetakers of this type with my Mac to transfer E-mail and other documents from my Mac to the notetaker? If so, which ones? It wasn’t made clear to me on the accessibility site.
