Hi Kathleen,
I heard about the horrible accident involving the crane last night on the news.
It’s amazing only one person was killed, and a bunch of cars were literally
cut in half as the crane fell on them.
I haven’t yet seen the second generation Victor Stream, but even the first
generation Victor Stream could go into a purse very easily. It’s probably an
inch and a half thick, perhaps two inches wide and four inches long. My Book
Port is thinner and narrower than that. I would imagine the second generation
Victor Stream is about the size of a Book Port but can do more things.

Well I don't think a victor stream would do me that good right now. I don't
have Wi-Fi in here so I don't think I would be able to download. That's kind of
a bummer though too. Man I wish I could've gotten one but oh well. I'm not
really sure what I want for my birthday. Oh yes but I ordered my Cheryl's
cookies oh definitely. And I got my banana bread in that order too. It hasn't
come yet I think it'll come around the 12th. That'll be a nice thing to have
after surgery. That would be good too. Well let's see. I talked to my mom and
after that I'm just relaxing. I'm not really doing anything else. What is a
victor stream light? How big is it? I guess you can read books and all that
kind of thing. I've never touched one so I don't know what it feels like. Can
somebody tell me what it's like? I'm just curious. Well there's another video
on the net about the crane the fellow here in New York City.

Wonder if the Victor Stream has stations that are on Tune-In Radio. I haven’t
heard of O-O Tunes, but if that works from a computer, I would imagine I’ll be
able to negotiate getting radio I like. Haven’t really gotten into podcasting,
but then again, I am not really conversant about it.
Thanks, Sharon!!

Linda,
Yes you can like radio stations and such. Also you can download podcasts. I
have a 32 gig but lots of stuff on my card. I have allot of music on it and
old radio shows, as well.
Also book. If an internet radio station is on OO tunes you can listen to it
even the listen factor. It is really easy to safe your favorite internet
stations.
I think you will love it. I also have the old victor stream.
Sharon and Pearl

Oo, sounds really promising to me! Looks like a 16 gig card may not be enough,
but we’re talking about things you can listen to on the net, right?

Well, I know that The Listen Factor folks will help you if you want help to get
their stuff on there. They show lots of stuff you'd probably like, and they've
got drama, movies, sitcoms, old radio, lots of stuff.

Hmmm, wish I’d known. I saw the sale price at which Laz Mesa was selling it
and decided to save $15.00. I just might put Blindy TV on it. It’s in my
favorites and I almost never watch it. I’ll be looking forward to being able
to download BARD books directly onto this Victor Stream. But, o-oh, I hope
I’ve got my wy-fi number on my cell phone because I lost the sheet of braille
paper it was on.

If you buy it from Roger Behm, he puts some stations on it for you like Beatles
and listen factor and Blindie Tv. Can't think of what else, but he does that,
and is wonderful to deal with.

Would you believe, I was gonna order it today, even deposited money my brother
gave me so I could spend the $349 for the stream and have enough money to make
it through the rest of the month, but when I got home, I took a nap. Oops, it
better get ordered tomorrow or else I lose $16.00 as the sale ends tomorrow.
Lately I’ve been forgetting things, like mailing a talking book back to the
Arizona State Library though I knew my mom and I were going right by a mail box
yesterday. Then I forgot to give my brother his lasagna dish and jam jar back
to him. Fortunately, he remembered. Don’t know what’s going on or not going
on with my head.

Linda, when you boot up your phone, that's when you put in the numbers. After
that, if the screen locks and you do have fingerprint ID up and running, all
you need do is put your finger in, and it will unlock the screen.
As for the second generation Stream, it's so great! Downloading books is even
easier than using the old software. You have a couple of ways of doing it, and
everyone has their favorite, I guess, but it's totally easy. If you want help,
call us.

Oh, really? I had no earthly idea! I thought, and I think my phone has said
on occasion, that for me to use touch ID, I must put in my six-digit pass
code. I think I’m reaching senility or something similar, a technological
overload. I am seeming to become really overwhelmed by technology. I
don’t put music on my I-Phone, finding it much, much easier to put it on my
Sanza Clip MP3 player from talkingmp3players.com, from whom I’m also going to
be purchasing a new Victor Stream. Right now, I’m having to use my old
Victor Stream to download books from BARD using my Book Port software. It’s
crazy, but it does work, but I’d just like to update the Victor Stream
although my old one still works perfectly well. I suspect music sounds a
whole lot better on the second-generation one. Thankfully, Laz Mesa does a
great tutorial with this machine. As to Drop Box, I’ll hopefully listen to
the three-part tutorial in the next couple of days, pain notwithstanding.

Hi Linda. I just got in at the middle of this thread so forgive me if I missed
something. However. The whole purpose of touch ID is to prevent you from having
to put in your passcode every time you unlock your phone. That's the beauty of
touch ID.

I’m finding I’m not using the I-Phone as much as I thought I would. I
really miss the ease of just being able to make phone calls, and now that
I’ve got the finger print thing and I have to put a six-digit code into my
I-Phone any time I unlock it, it’s just getting to be too slow and tedious.
I’m not one who plays with games much, so I haven’t downloaded anything
like that. Thanks, though, for your suggestion.

Linda, to go from one contact to another, try swiping from left to right
instead of going up and down. I think with a little practice and a few more fun
apps, you'll never want to go back, but that's just my opinion. :)

Hi All,
I was talking to my friend Gina about this. Like me, she has an I-Phone 5, but
I don't think she's upgraded to I-OS 9 point anything. I've updated to 9.3, and
I've noticed when I try to move through my contacts list, even though I'm using
the familiar page-up gesture, I'm getting a beep sound and the word "refreshing"
a lot, and the page isn't moving up. Seems to me that as they're updating, some
of the more basic functions are becoming more difficult to do, and I don't know
why this has to be that way. I'm so annoyed that when my contract runs out in
August, I'm thinking about going back to a regular flip phone as I've never used
Blind Square, and only occasionally use the KNFB Reader and money talker. I've
gotten another manual bill readingmachine which is in my purse at all times.
