Hello, When I was at the Vegas ACB convention, I stopped at the NLS table to see if they had anything but there was nothing. When it does materialize, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

There may be some design work still to be done as far as the file formatting or the mailing case is concerned, but I think they're about to start requesting bids for the manufacture of the player designs. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Otto Zamora Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 2:27 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: life of a CF card Hi Sandy, Thanks for the answer, thought I would be the only one up right now.
