[nabs-l] daisy playback devices

[Chris Nusbaum]

Do you think we'd get enough signatures? And send the petition to 
who, Humanware? I'm sorry to be pesemistic here, but I highly 
doubt they'll listen to a petition; they won't listen to 
BrailleNote users' suggestions on the BrailleNote list and in 
direct emails/calls to Humanware, and plus they won't keep their 
promises when it comes to new features in the BrailleNote that 
they promise will come in the next Keysoft upgrade, but they 
never do.  HIMS is blowing them out of the water, and Humanware 
doesn't even seem to get the point! That's just my soapbox 
though.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan

 Wow that's sad! Ashley, I'm with you when it comes to just 
putting a book in
 a player! That is so much easyer especially if people like me 
don't have any
 of those things to download to!
 Rania,

 Wow!
 What a shame!
 I agree with you!
 Something's got to give!

 Hi all,
 I like the ease of daisy cds.
 But products for them are being discontinued.

 Increasingly, we are getting only devices that play sd cards so 
you have
 to
 download books.  That is fine if you are tech savvy and have an 
internet
 connection and the site is accessible.  For some, those 
variables do not
 exist though.
 Besides, I want to just pop a book in a player; its easier than
 downloading
 for me.
 I was on learning ally's site and saw this disappointing news.  
Well, I
 actually knew they discontinued the classic and bibe.
 It said,
 "The following players are no longer available for purchase at 
Learning
 Ally, but training and support materials are available for the 
Victor
 Reader
 Wave, Victor Reader Vibe and Victor Reader ClassicX+ "
 The players they sell include the plextalk and vr stream.
