I think what you heard was the speech cutting out, so you did not hear the "lock" announcement. >>> DogRiver@xxxxxxxx Tuesday, March 07, 2006 1:58:54 PM >>> Just a report, it's nothing that bothered me particularly. I was reading an Audible book a couple of days ago. Twice, when I stopped the book with the 2 key, I got a popping sound that was stronger than it usually is. I was, at this point, unable to lock the BP with the 1+3 command. I then pushed 2 to start reading, and again to stop, and at that point the lock command worked again. I have never experienced this before the current beta.
