I have some comments about the reading in the dark podcast.
I listened to several podcasts on the nls dtbm. The regional libraries send
cartridges to patrons to update the dtbm firmware. You can also download the
firmware and update the dtbm yourself. I’ve updated my dtbm twice since I got it.
The safely Remove option is intended to prevent the SD card from becoming
corrupted. I know of this happening to people. To fix the problem, you have to
reformat the SD card. When you do this, all of the content on the victor

Q. Is there anything I can do if the Safely Remove Hardware option is not in my
Windows System Tray?
A. The Safely Remove Hardware icon may be hidden. Press Tab on the Desktop to go
to the Windows Start menu button and then press Alt+Enter to open the Task Bar and
Start Menu properties dialog. In the properties dialog, ensure the check box for
“Hide Inactive Icons” is not checked.
I would recommend the Solona tactile screen protectors for the Ipad, Ipod touch
and Iphone. I have the ipod touch and the tactile screen protector has
enhanced my experience with a touch screen.
