[Dtb-talk] Daisy Braille Monitor on the BookSense

[Jim Barbour]

Thanks Mike.

I really wish there was a way for me to pull the latest version of the
monitor from a script.

month=8
year=2011
curl -o monitor-$year-$month.zip http://www.nfb.org/BrailleMonitor/Daisy/$year-$month.zip

I'm wondering if someone could pass this along to our NFB webmaster?

Thanks,

Jim
