[Electronics-talk] Disappointing News

[Shara Winton]

newsline is nothing like tell me. It reads several newspapers and magazines. 
It cannot give you the current time or temp. If you go to the AP seclection, 
you might get the most current news, but it is just very diffirent. 
Wonderful in its own way, but diffirent never the less.
