I am no expert on the NLS program.  I just remember hearing some players 
will be introduced in 2008.  When and how many, I don't know.  Ask your 
librarian if there is a waiting list for interested people.  I know people 
who are 100 years old and veterans get first choice.  That is about the 
extent of my knowledge.

I really don't understand this intense need to have whatever is new the 
minute it is available.  But for people who have it and have the $320 the 
Victor Stream can do it now.  Pay for the privilege with dollars or with 
time.  I guess the choice exists for us all, at least for those of us
who participate in the NLS program

Where do you get "a year?"  I've heard it will take to 2012.
I don't mind waiting, but not forever.
