[Blindtlk] BARD: never mind about logging in, but I do have another question

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi David,

Then HumanWare's Web site seems to not be updated.  The Apex was 
in the combo box of compatible players that I could select to 
play my books with, and I know people who read BARD books on the 
Apex.  So, either HumanWare's site is outdated or they just left 
it out.  I would guess the former.

Chris, I don't believe the Apex will play NLS material.  At least 
their website (Humanwares's) does not so indicate.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, I figured out the thing about logging into BARD right 
after I posted the question to the list and sent it to you, 
Tison.  All I had to do was click on the link (enter with dots
2-6 on the BrailleNote) in the email and it worked.  After 
logging in, I put the main page in my favorites list.  From now 
on, when I go to it from my favorites, it will always come up 
with the login screen.  Now, I do have another BARD question.
When I filled out my BARD application, I selected the Victor 
Reader Stream as my player, since I thought I would be using the 
Stream more for books, especially in school if I ever needed BARD 
for school.  However, I also want to read BARD books on my 
BrailleNote Apex, and don't want to leave that option closed to 
me.  I got an email from BARD today, which looked to be forwarded 
from HumanWare, saying that HumanWare had been notified of my 
wanting authorization for my Stream, Stratus, or Apex to play 
BARD books.  This requires that I fill out an online form on the 
HumanWare site, which requires me to give them my device's serial 
number.  But I want to play BARD books on both my BrailleNote and 
my Stream.  Is there a way I can tell it to authorize both, or 
will I have to use my Stream only for BARD books? Thanks, and 
sorry about jumping the gun and posting that message about 
logging in before I thought about that!

Chris
