Thank you Steve and everyone who has been responding. I am now prepared for my conversation with RNIB again tomorrow. No row or anything so don't get me wrong people just putting my side of things to them. If households have more than one machine, then I do not see why it cannot be extended, especially if there is an excess of 250 that were not taken up.

Smiles Elanor, You asked, I answered! That was my experience. And, yes, the deadline was 20 February. That's why I said that now, as there hadn't been as much of a take up as originally anticipated, they may extend it to other members, that's why I suggested your calling them.Best wishes Steve----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2009 6:29 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Book LibrarySteve that is very helpful indeed. I cannot be expected as a member to respond to a generic advert amd when I contacted the RNIB I was duly informed that the offer was now closed since 20 February. I would have no problem offering feedback to the RNIB Talking Library.-original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Book Library From: "Steve Dryden" <steve.dryden@xxxxxxx> Date: 06/05/2009 6:22 pmThat's not quite true Elanor, I am almost positive that there was a forwarded email to the Access List from the RNIB Arena list. This invited TB members to be involved in the pilot. The requirement was that you had an internet connection and they were offering a new PTX1 player to 1000 members. You were to mail them with your details and at the apropriate time, they'd basically pull out the first 1000 names who contacted them. As it was, the take up wasn't as much as they'd anticipated so they only gave out in the region of 850 players. Now, I'm not sure if they would exchange a player now or not but you'd need to contact them. Another requirement was that you'd need to be part of the testing group and offer feedback back.Hope that helps.

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.Eleanor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter.
