I stopped using my Stream when I got an IPhone with both Voice Dream and Read to Go. I can't imagine going back except to listen to NLS books which works on my NLS player just fine. Now if I could get NLS books on the IPhone which may be impending, even that would be gone. It was a great item as the starter for this whole mobile book reader phase of life.

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

> That is the reason for this message is to ask all Victor reader

> Humanware Customer Service, info at humanware.com
> in the body of the message ask them to develop a Mac version or
