[Promotion-technology] NLS digital player

[Gary Wunder]

Hi Ed. I believe ILA, Independent Living Aids sells them, but I did not 
think they were $40. I believe they are 1 gig. Your player will also let you 
use a USB drive on its right side. It will stick out a bit, but prices are 
much less and memory much more.
