Hi Bob, I haven't been to Tahoe for so many years I can't
remember when, holds no appeal for me other than the hopefully
still clean pine scented air.
Regarding rehab, I went to them after retiring and got them to
buy me the Plextalk, a copy of Jaws, and the Apex NoteTaker that
just got sick on me and lost its braille display. I just told
them I needed equipment for my music and keeping track of my
expenses and such. Have no idea if they are still as generous.
The VR stream is a very cool device but in recording mode, I
think the Plextalk is still better, but I haven't really tested
out the Stream capabilities because the first version was really
bad at recording. The new version can record using 44.1 16 bit
wave sampling so it should be better than it was before. 73, Jim
