Hey Amy,
Check out the below for a really cheap alternative to Jaws.
O.k. so for a free alternative to Jaws, but of course you get what you pay
for.

And this one is just a reader of text, but is really low priced:

Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Enough with the complaints'
For me most of the equipment discussed falls under the "show me more or what
I can't have" category but I still like to know what is available and dream
about which would fill my needs even if they are out of my price range. I
really don't care if they might be considered "ads" as long as the people
who can use them know what is out there.

hi:
This was blatent advertising for a specific product and a specific
distributer of said product.
Where it crosses the line for me is the for-profit component.
People have brought up the accessibility of other mp3 player/digital voice
recorders in the past, but they weren't selling them.

I am reluctant to open the door to advertising on this listserv, and I
assume the bookshare folks will be the ultimate artibors of what passes
muster, but I will say that I was glad to see this particular post about the
Olympus as it is a product that one can use in association with Bookshare.
Perhaps this should be the criterion for what is appropriate for the
listserv -- products that may be of direct use with Bookshare may be
mentioned, perhaps without utilizing explicit ad campaigns from the
companies or distributors themselves.

Hi everyone,
I realize that some will disagree with me, but I saw nothing wrong with Pat
s posting about the recorder. I think that as long as it is something that
can benefit Bookshare members in enjoying the service, I want to hear about
it. On the other hand, if someone indiscriminately sends information on a
myriad of products, that is totally inappropriate.
I have a similar policy on my blind-travel. If people offer services that
benefit people on the list, mention them. But please don't send blatant
advertising repeatedly. I removed a spammer who did that.
