RSS Feed for filePro

[John Esak]

Well, I suppose it would have to be considered a video podcast. I would do
the movie thing... I suppose also that you could consider it like a song...
if you like it, you listen to it. If you are ever lucky enough to catch the
video that goes with it... you may or may not enjoy it more. :-)

I have listened to books and tapes and records forever, about 50 years now,
and many people call me a musician... whether they are right or not, I love
music... but, still and all, I will always opt to listen to a good book or
article rather than music when I'm driving (or being driven) somewhere. It's
just too good... and impossible to describe to those who don't do it. It is
one of those things you either click with or don't.

Anyway, the podcast for filePro is just a gleam in my eye... it may not
happen. We'll see.
