[nfb-talk] Something I've noticed!

Tue Jul 15 22:38:17 UTC 2014

I feel that the more accessible you can make things the better. Because I 
don't use a smart phone, the menus online only help me out before I leave 
the house. Sometimes I change my mind by the time I get there. Again, the 
only issue I have with most of those menu medias is that they don't always 
update them.
