What's such a big deal about having it or is your hard drive so small that you
are afraid of running out of drive space. It isn't that huge an application.
I'd rather have BWR than some of the other junk that computer makers throw on
your computer when you buy a new one. For example, it would please me greatly
if no computer company put Google Desktop or the Google Toolbar on a computer
ever again. They are a big pain, and do more to screw up access technology
than to help with doing searches.
If your hard drive is really small you might want to get a larger hard drive as
cheap as they are now days.

: Hi.

: I do intend on using daisy books, so I guess I'll have to leave it on my
: system. I am going to recommend though that APH produce either a cut down
: free version or even better, integrate daisy functionality directly in to
: the transfer tool. If Book Courier could manage it, I don't see why APH
: shouldn't give it a shot.
