Hi Sharon, Chuck, Peter, and List,
I think what Isaac did after I told him that by pressing control with I
from the main menu he could see that the Victor Reader software is already
loaded in the Braillenote. When you press I with control, if you scroll
down, you will hear or read with your fingers "Victor Reader Soft version
2.0.127". If this does not apply to the Braillenote's features, then
perhaps someone at HumanWare can explain why it's there. i believe all
M-Powers which have been upgraded to 7.5 are capable of using the Victor
Stream if the M-Power's owner purchases the stream. Of course everyone
should know that if the BN's owner does not have a computer he or she
cannot download anything from the National Library Service using the
Braille or Voice Note. For this reason, I currently have my local
librarian download books for me to use on a little device called the
Zenstone.
I personally will not purchase a Victor Reader until I can use my
BrailleNote or Braille Sense Plus to download material from NLS without
needing a computer and read it on the reader of my choice. Also, an
advantage to the Zenstone is that it fits in the palm of my hand, does
basically the same thing that the Victor Reader Stream does, can be
attached to the BN using one of the USB ports, and the Stone costs only
$40.00. The Zenstone's only drawback (perhaps) is the fact that after a
year or so, depending on use, the battery dies and the whole device must
be replaced. The reason I said (perhaps) is because depending on the cost
of upgrades for the Victor Stream, it may be more cost effective to
replace a whole unit every 12-18 months than to upgrade the $329.00
Stream, especially if Stream upgrades are more than $40.00 each time an
upgrade is released.

Hi Isaac and List,
Isaac, I saw your Bt32 listed for sale. Please clarify, you
said there is a Victor Stream in the Bn. How? I'i've never heard
of this before. Also what version is it running? Does it have
the newer display? What condition is it in?
This may seem like a lot of questions, but important ones,
nonetheless.
Living in the Present One day at a time, This is enough. Do
not look back and grieve over the past. For it is gone. And do
not be troubled about the future. For it has not yet come. Live
in the present, and make it so beautiful. That it will be worth
remembering.
