Now while I don't mind these for phones and computers I couldn't stand them for long term listening. I spoke to the library service and was told they had recorded a trial to see what peoples comments were. They are waiting for others to give their comments. I have told them I will wait until they get someone human to read books. I can think of nothing more boring than lying in bed with a cup of coffee and trying to Time to go forth with comments folks. Take care Hazelconcentrate on the voice. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6622 (20111111) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6622 (20111111) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
