Hi Chris:
Thanks for the confirmation. I have also tried it with the same results. I
will be passing it onto the programmers, however, I don't know if it will be or
can be fixed or not, since we are no longer working on this project. However,
I can promise to try.
Thanks to both you and Morgan for reporting this.

Hi Pamela
I am using the latest firmware and I can confirm this bug in the Book
Port. It caused me to almost be late for work this morning. I expect
there won't be a fix forthcoming for this problem, but I suppose I won't
have to worry about this for the next four years by which time I'll
likely not be using my current Book Port any longer.
Regards
Christo

It is 12:54am, on Friday, February 29, 2008, according to my Book Port.
I try to set an alarm for 9:00am on Friday, February 29, 2008. Book
Port returns with "Time is passed. Cancel alarm." Not what I expected.
I try to set the alarm for 9:00pm on Friday, February 29, 2008. Same
erroneous result.
However, when I try to set the alarm to 9:00am on Saturday, March 1,
2008, it works.
Perhaps this bug only surfaces every four years.

Commercial break-- Because my Book Ports can fit into my shirt pocket,
play text, audio books, and MP3s, and it is a tremendously useful
Braille note taker, I will gladly wait for a new model of the BP. I do
love this thing.
