Goodness, Mike, what have you been doing with your poor little BookPort? I do
everything I can to keep gunk out of mine. LOL!!!

Hi, Sandy. You are so right. When we list members have fun, boy do we have
fun, grin.
Hey, how about a feature on the hook port/book port where if you want to
clean out the inside of the unit that you are able to briefly apply a jet of
hot soapy water and clean out any gunk built up inside, grin. All other
feature suggestions gave me a good belly laugh or two. Thanks Larry and Rob
for allowing us a little lattitude from time to time.
Mike
