Ibrahim,
After my recent experiences with the RNIB resource centre, I'm afraid I'm not bothering to journey there again in a hurry!
Just one thing I'll say here: One of the High Tech team said to me, "We all have our specialisms" when making an excuse for not knowing the product ... He clearly didn't know how much more than how to turn on the Plextalk Pocket. We'd also made a special journey to go (takes about two hours or so from here) and were told they usually do demos on Thursdays, but how are people meant to know that???
Our whole experience, even looking round, a volunteer who knew nothing (bless him) and a watch problem that nobody was able to understand or give me a proper answer on even now ... leads me to think it's best not bothering to go there.
I'd rather purchase from Peterborough and have to return, but am not sure if you get away with returning goods just because they're not quite what you expected. Anyone any comments on that one???

Hi Carol.

Well, there's always the resource centre of the RNIB down
in London *smile*, they'll probably have one, though if
its total accessibility your after, I'd strongly suggest
looking at the VR Stream or Milestone devices.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Thanks, Sandra, for this insight.  So how do you know
what file(s) you're moving or deleting then?  Hmmm!

Wish I could get my hands on one of these to be sure I
want one.

Hi Carol,
Coming in on the Olympus thread, the only difference
between the two products is the storage capacity, as has
been said.  The menus do speak and so do the folder
names but files names are not spoken as to do this they
would need synthetic speech and the voice prompts are
human speech.  This leads me to think that the DS40 or
50 may not be what you want.  Just my thoughts.
Cheers,
Sandra.
