I have been a member for 35 years or possibly 33 years. -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Book Library From: Dean Wilcox <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 06/05/2009 5:37 pm 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.
