[bookport] Re: suggestion for firmware - easy hopefully

Hi,

As I see it, the beep is particularly necessary for making sure that the 
Book Port is indeed locked. If it didn't beep, you would have to plug in 
earphones every time that you wanted to check and make sure that the unit 
was locked. To me, this would be more of a problem than the beep. Having 
the unit locked is very important when moving about.
