[mountainstate] Victor Player Warning

[thedogmom]

Hi. I wanted to let you all know something that I have recently learned the hard way about the Victor players by Humanware. Be real careful about purchasing the ones you see on Ebay. I know some people have expressed interest in that possibility. 
Well, apparently, Humanware had some older versions before the Victor Stream and these are selling now because while they are great little devices and play a wide variety of formats, and look like a Stream in every other way, they are not the Stream in that you cannot one, upgrade them to the Stream, and you cannot play the NLS books on them.
You'll know the difference because the Stream have serial numbers that begin with 951.

How did I learn this? When I attempted to get mine NLS ready and learned that mine is not, in fact, a Stream. I bought one of the older versions from Maxiaids not realizing the difference. So now, I'm essentially stuck having to either buy another VR Stream, or the Booksense, or just use the NLS player when it is distributed or whatever else is out. And I'm not happy about this, let me tell you.

Just a word of warning there.
