Hello David, I respect the opinions of you and the dealer you saw, but I feel that the thought of limiting a device's development because goals will lose focus are what slow down or hold back technology. If adding a new feature seriously broke something that already existed, I might agree; but I can't see the people at APH letting anything out the door in that way. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Allen Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 2:03 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: bookport suggestion Hi Josh and list: Yesterday I attended a presentation about a variety of products marketed by a local vendor. He made the point that when people want a product to do too many things, it ends up losing the original focus for which it was originally designed. Now I can appreciate the benefits of a hardware synthesiser. I use two of them. But becoming another means of output for a screen reader doesn't logically fit into a device that gives us a portable reading system. This is only my opinion, but doubt it is in the minority. Cheers, Dave
