Not defending NLS, but there are a couple of considerations: 1. NLS's reader
base has a large number of elderly people (I guess that includes me) and many
of them would have problem adapting to computers. 2. Probably the most
important, NLS supplies the CD player to a large number of there members, it is
costly to replace all of this equipment and now days they just don't get the
budget from the federal government, to do the work.

I forgot to say I'm amazed that in this day and age NLS would concentrate on
books on cassette.
Cd players have been "in" for such a long time and that format of music is so
easily converted to ipod style players that it would seem that cassettes
wouldn't have much popularity.
