Why would this confuse a consumer?  There are two ways to do many =
things, both on the BookPort and in Windows.  For example, you can =
either adjust the volume with keys D and F, or you can go into the =
settings menu and adjust it that way.  I personally like the F-cord, it =
makes sense to me.  But I also understand that this command would be =
extremely difficult for a person with manual difficulties, whereas the =
7-8-9 combo would be relatively easy to press.  The key word here is =
"alternative", there are several ways to do things on a PC, and there's =
no reason the BookPort can't be the same way.  Now, from a programming =
standpoint, this might not be feasible, but it's only a suggestion =
anyway, one that might never see a firmware release.

Either is fine with me, but what is the reason to have either or?  Looks =

like a good way to confuse a consumer.
