[gui-talk] free daisy player

Al,

What do you mean by saying, as you seem to be doing, that the Victor Reader 
Stream belongs in some way to the NLS? I asked this once, I'm asking it 
again. What you say seems to mean that they manufacturer and/or sell it. Do 
they? if not, then what do you mean by referring to the Stream (I take it 
you *do* mean the Victor Reader Stream, years?) as "theirs?"

Please. Explain. Thanks.

NLS does charge for the user keys for players other than their own such as
The Stream.  I know because I had to buy one.  I'm not complaining the price
was reasonable, $10.

NLS does not charge for user keys, and I believe that you are
referring to RFB7D.  Part of the reason they charge is that they
provide support for all the players that will work with their books.
