Hello,
I have written to them as well, as I believe we should all do 
this as well.

We should all request it even if you do not use a Mac.  It will 
benefit
others in current and future generations immensely.  I'm a pc 
user and plan
to do so.

I have been asked to circulate the following:




Subject: Victor Reader Stream
From: Fred Hemmer <fjhemmer at comcast.net
The Victor Reader Stream is one of the greatest tools for blind 
and
visually impaired people.  I use mine every day and would be lost
without it.  It is manufactured by Humanware.  If you are a PC 
user
they also have a program called Humanware Companion.
  When installed on your computer the program  sets up a special
 folder and where books, magazines, music, etc.  download the
 information goes into that folder.  When you plug your Victor 
stream
 into your computer and then run the companion program it quickly 
transfers
  the information to the correct  folders on your Victor  reader 
stream.

  If you are an Apple user this program is not available.  I have
 contacted Apple as well as Humanware and asked when an Apple
 version would become available.  The people at Apple told me 
that
 they do not develop applications of this type and suggested I 
contact
  the manufacturer of the device.  When I contacted Humanware  
they
 told me that if there was enough interest in an Apple version 
they
 would develop one.

  That is the reason for this message  is to ask all Victor 
reader
 stream users to contact humanware  and request an Apple version 
of
 Humanware  companion.  All you have to do is send an email to
 Humanware Customer Service, info at humanware.com
  in the body of the message ask them to develop a Mac version or
 Apple version of humanware companion.  It will be interesting to
 see if a large response will receive positive results.

Best wishes,
