Hi,

It's about the size of a small cell phone and weighs I think about 3 ounces
or something like that.  The speaker on it is amazing and it plays all kinds
of formats including daisy books.  It also records and can be networked so I
can now transfer media to and from it without it being connected to my
computer.  It plays and downloads radio streams and podcasts, and can read
brf files as well as txt files.  I really like it although the battery
doesn't last as long as the VR Stream does, but then the stream doesn't do
as much as the plextalk does.  You can put voice bookmarks or just a regular
bookmark as well, and the recording capability is super.  If you want to
know more go to:
www.plextalk.com
and look for the plextalk pocket link on the page.

Cool, I now have to find lessons for Gab.  Tell me more about your Victor
stream replacement.

Hi,

Those presents sound cool especially the guitar.  My sons got a nintendo
mini which we haven't hooked up yet but I'm sure they'll love since Colyn's
wanted one for awhile now.  Colyn also got a digital light designer and some
leapfrog games.  Remus got some colour wonder books and markers to go with
them as well as a paint palot also by colour wonder.  Ashlyn got a rocking
singing dancing elmo which she loves, and a kitchen set and a doll house
with all the furnature in it, even the toilet.  lol  I got my husband his
harp which he's been wanting for almost his whole life so he says, and of
course that had to come with lessons because he doesn't know how to play it
yet.  I got a replacement for my victor reader stream, or rather, i got a
step up because my husband got me the plextalk.  I really like it, and I got
to give my VR to Colyn who reads his books on it using headphones because
the speaker doesn't work anymore.

Hello, hopefully you and your family had a great holiday.  So what kind of
cool and nifty gifts did your kiddos come away with?
Gab got a Brother's sewing machine which she is waiting patiently to try
out.  Our tables are cluttered right now with Christmas decorations and the
like, so there is no where to set her portable machine.  Santa left a large
bean bag dorm chair and my friend gave her a guitar (hand me down)  She will
soon meet up with her cousins from Florida on the 3rd and they will again
exchange more gifts.  I guess you could say, Christmas day here is a long
lasting event. Haha Anyway, what did you all give or get.
V
