Hello Pat and all, 

I will follow up on Pat's general request. At this time the iPod is still
not totally accessible. Not having the need for small, light weight
player/storage until now what are folks using? 
How do you like it? 
Amounts of storage? 
General cost points? 

I am looking at audio over Braille. 

On a side note, Apple has just released their new version of Mac OSX which
now includes a built in screen reader. I have played with it some and it is
fairly solid for version 1.0 of Voiceover. 

On the readers feel free to drop me a note off list

Hi Jana and Everyone,

I have a 2 gig CF card, and 2 5 gig PCMCIA cards. lol. I wonder how many 
books I'll get on the 2 gig CF card. lol.

I just love this facinating technology! I'm crazy about all this digital 
storage!

Now, here's another question for all of you.

Which is better, the Book Port, or the Book Courier? I wish they were not 
so expensive.

I want some tiny form of technology that I can put books and music on but I 
don't want to buy an Ipod. You can write me off list if this subject is too 
off topic.


Thanks so much for all your help.
