Marsha,,
I have the first generation stream, not the second generation stream and
it's true that the new stream allows you to connect to the internet. The
first generation stream does not. It has qualities however, that I like
better than the NLS player. But the NLS player has a wonderful speaker and
also, if you have any hearing problems, it is easier to play around with the
volume, speed, and tone, to make it easier to hear a particular book than it
is with the stream. Perhaps that's what they were talking about.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Stream vs. Talking Book Player
Hi
Perhaps I am missing something. I went to an NFB meeting on Saturday.
What a mess. One person suggested that people should put diapers on dog
guides.
That's not what this message is about but I just had to say that. I must
be missing something. They were saying how much better the Talking Book
player was so much better than the Victor Stream. They were talking about
how they hated the Stream.
I really love my Stream. It is the second best thing beyond my computer.
I can do so many things with it.
Marsha
