Joe's New Toys

Joe is now part of the digital talking books program that is sponsored by the government.  He recieved, free of charge, the cassette player shown above that talks and gives directions.  If you stick a headphone in the side, then of course, you can't hear it.  A special tape slips into the front of the cassette and the entire book is self-contained on that one cassette.  No more turning a series of cassettes over to side 1 or 2 or A or B.  It doesn't matter if the tape is 17 hours long - it's one tape.  The only time you take it out is when you have reached "The End".

Each cassette arrives in it's own little blue plastic box.  When the tape has been heard, the mailing card is turned over on the front and mailed - no postage due!  There is a catalog of hundreds of such tapes and you just place your order of what you want and it's mailed to Joe.  20 tapes at a time, if you wish.  This is such a godsend and so much better than the tape player I had purchased for him that he has always had problems operating and flipping tapes over.  Technology is a wonderful thing!!!
