That’s GREAT!!!!
Viva technology!!!!
@rvm: i’m glad you like it. still have to get transcripts though…. and make a bunch of youtubes, etc. but this, at least, gets the info of the teach-in out to all of us who were not able to go.
I can hardly hear the lectures. Dang it.
I can hardly hear the audio. phooey.
Didn’t mean to say that twice.
@Mary McCurnin: hi mary! i’m so glad you told me that you are having problems with the audio. any number of times is ok, and much better than not saying anything — i bet if you are having trouble, then you’re not the only one. but even if you are the only one, i want to make it so you can hear it.
will you help me debug? your help would be most appreciated because i can hear them on my imac without speakers, so i don’t know what to do.
the first session is particularly low volume, but you can turn the volume up in the little player. did you try that?
Are these lectures available in MP3 format so that I can listen to them on my Ipod? Thanks.
