I should probably try downloading the BRF files on my computer 
instead of my BrailleNote.  For some reason, connections drop 
much easier on my BrailleNote then on a PC.  Of course, I'd need 
to put the files on a thumb drive and stick them onto my 
notetaker, as they aren't readable on a PC without a Braille 
display, but that's a solution.

Ray:

It *is* available via WebBraille.  I have it but would violate 
law if I were
to send it to Chris.  He's gonna hafta actually sit in front of 
his computer
and download those eleven volumes (each of which takes very 
little time).

Chris,  Must correct you on one small point.  "Walking alone and 
Marching
together" is not yet available on BARD.

Just checked myself.

 No, it was just a little tedious and my connection kept dropping

I'm not too lazy to download the 11 volumes, but if there's an 
easier way
out there, i.e.  downloading the MP3 files or downloading the 
book from
Bookshare, I would much rather take that.  BARD has a sound 
recording of it
too that I can download.

Walking Alone has 11 volumes total! Wow! And I thought I was 
going to get a
hardcopy and read it! I should probably just download the MP3 
files onto my
Stream from the NFB site, or get it on Bookshare.

 You're welcome, Ray.  As I say, the doctrine has little actual 
legal
 scope anymore but all-too-often lives on in the public mind.

 I'd bet that if you put "Contributory Negligence" into the NFB 
site's
 search box, you'd get a slew of Monitor articles including one 
of mine
 and perhaps a reference or two or three in "Walking Alone ...".
