No problem, I sent you a link to a model that Play sells, made by CNM. It uses two USB sockets on your netbook, one for power and one for data, negating the need for a separate AC mains connection. Its also under £50 and you'll have a fiver to spare. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 7:16 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Recommendations please > Hi > > Usb preferably but possibly both. > > > Regards > > Adrien > > You can get me off list at: > adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > or > adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxx > or > adrien.collins@xxxxxxxxx > > Speakon is a free fully self-voicing accessible multimedia > program for > the visually impaired, find out more by downloading the > software from: > http://www.a-technic.net/speakon.htm > You can join the speakon user group by sending a blank > e-mail to: > speakon-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > -----Original Message----- > From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ibrahim > Gucukoglu > Sent: 23 June 2009 22:23 > To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [access-uk] Re: Recommendations please > > Hi Adrian. > > Are you looking for something that's USB powered or will you > be able to access a mains socket?
