Well then 250 people should still be able to apply Ian.  Do you work for the 
RNIB?

    How long have you been a member?  Just looking for reasons why some people 
weren't sent info.  Remember the information I received was not a direct offer 
of a player, I had to meet the criteria and then apply by E-mail.  There were 
1000 machines available I think and there was a chance they could have received 
more responces than machines available.  I took the machine thinking I would 
have to join a focus group to discuss the player but haven't heard anything 
about that as yet.

      Here here Barry with regard to not being contacted about the new talking 
book machine.  No, do not give it a thought, cancelling and re-joining, you 
will not get one of these new machines.  Not sure what their criteria will be 
but something like a new member will get what is available on the day it is 
being sent out to them.  I am simply interested in finding other members who 
like myself missed this opportunity of entering into the pilot scheme.

      Thank you Barry for responding.

        Hi  Eleanor


        I'm a member and this is the first I have heard of it.  However, I 
haven't had time to read 'Read on', so I am at fault there.



        I was contacted by the talking library some months ago, but it was just 
to see how I rated the current service - No mention of the new talking book 
machine.



        It's a shame that only new members are eligible.  I suppose we could 
cancel then re-join.



        Cheers



        Barry

        I am wondering how many members on this list use the RNIB Talking Book 
Library and ow many of those members were contacted about the new type of 
Talking Book machine which can be used with USB Flash Drive.  I understand that 
there is a pilot going on at present with regard to this machine but equally I 
understand that no existing member of the library will be entitled to one of 
these new books, only new members will receive them.  For those of you in the 
pilot, what do you think of the machine and out of interest did the Talking 
Book Library contact you directly about this pilot scheme or did you hear about 
it through Read-on, the Talking Book Library CD sent out to members.
