Can an echo "open" a web page? It accesses resources on the web but it doesn't display them for viewing. But, by reading out the content, i guess it's no different to screen reader software used by the visually impaired. Although a screen reader, from what I remember, will convert the displayed page into speech which is a subtle distinction.Comment

I know the XP laptop still works ok for browsing. About a year ago some idiot backed into the telegraph pole and I lost my phone & internet for a week. Just about managed to access the free BT WiFi with the laptop on the bedroom window sill.bloggoth
