You all need to realize that the NLS will be issuing players designed
specifically to play their books sometime in 2008.  The majority of NLS
subscribers are older Americans, and many of them are not computer
users.  The only individuals who will have to use a computer to obtain
NLS material are those who wish to listen to such material on a 3rd
party player such as the Bookport II or the VR-Stream.

I believe what was meant is Unabridged books.  I really don't think 
the Olympus will at this time or will ever play NLS 
books.  Otherwise, security would be a joke.  From what I have been 
told by a state library employee, once you have downloaded the books 
onto your player, those books are yours to keep.  What is strange is, 
you will have to download them in order to put them on BP2 or 
whatever player you have purchased using a computer.  To use a 
computer... or not to use a computer?  That is the 
question.  (Grin!)  Sorry.  I couldn't resist.  Perhaps this person 
misunderstood.  We will just have to wait and see about all of 
this.  Speculation, at this point, just gets some folks unduly 
upset.  Life is too short to get upset about such nonsense!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to 
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen 
to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your 
heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring 
you back from captivity.
