Thank You Monica, what time will that be Central Time. I can never keep track 
of time zones.

  Hi, Bertha. I use a Book Port and absolutely love it. So it will probably 
surprise you when I suggest that you invest in buying a Victor Stream instead. 
I have two reasons for making this suggestion. The first is that the Book Port 
is nearing the end of its product cycle, meaning that replacement parts and 
memory cards will become harder to obtain in the years to come. Second, the 
Stream can handle NLS books while Book Port can't. I love my Book Port and 
would be sad without it. I bought mine used though, and logic tells me that if 
a person can buy a product in new condition, it should be one that will be 
current and the most versatile. If you'd like to talk to the people from 
Humanware and other Stream owners, TekTalk is hosting a live demonstration of 
the Stream with its new software on Monday night at 5 P.M. Pacific, 8 P.M. 
Eastern. Just go to http://www.accessibleworld.org and click on the link for 
the TekTalk conference room. This demonstration is free to everyone, and there 
will be a question and answer period after the presentation. Hope this helps.
