The most wonderful thing about the NLS player is that it is free. People
have computers which cost money, particularly with all of the specialized
programs. And if one is moving around in the world, one probably has a cell
phone, which costs money, and most probably a land line. And then people
purchase specialized devices. Most likely because I'm old, this contemporary
life amazes me. We used to have free radio, free TV, a phone, and a free
talking book machine. I read lists on which people compare the several
devices they have for reading books. I just wonder why one needs so many
devices if the point is to read a book. When was it that blind people became
so financially well off?
