Hello, First I may need to eat a bit of crow about the CF Cards. When I went to Best Buy, Circuit City etc...and asked for CF Type I cards, they all said they didn't carry them. I think, in fact, they don't carry CF Type II cards...at least from what I am reading on the BookPort List. They are saying that it is the Type II that is becoming harder to find. I am not convinced either way yet and just need to bite the bullet and buy a "regular CF card" and see if it works. Still, when spending the money...I want the package to say TYPE I. So much for getting technical support from teenagers! Next, I have happened upon a link that you may be quite familiar with: www.aph.org/tech/bct.htm Rather than using the podcasting software, I just opened the podcast I was interested in. It began playing in Windows Media Player and I used a save as command from the file menu to save the file to my computer. As these are not zipped files, the download on BP files took about 2 minutes each (using broadband). These are in MP3 files and there are some excellent instructions regarding the BookPort and other topical issues. These are PodCasts and there is a way with free and/or cheap software to have the computer capture the podcast and send them to the BookPort. Podcasting seems to be the new wave of interest and while I am interested (in terms of the instructional value), I don't have the time until September to really learn as much as I would like. To my dismay, the BP list was very chatty while I was away for a few days but there was some valuable info buried in all the discussions of "out of stock" comments (such as an extensive 20+ messages about CF cards). Next, the attachment is an instructional manual/beginning curriculum guide from SET-BC specific to the BookPort. It does not cover all of the advanced features but is nicely done with JAWS instructions for the software. The JAWS instructions have both desktop and laptop instructions. They used screen capture images for the transfer software lessons which adds to the usability for the sighted TVI's. It was a download thus, this is NOT a copyright violation. As a final an unrelated comment--laptops have been getting larger lately as sighted folks seem to want the wide screen for DVDs. Best Buy had an ad in Sunday's paper for an HP with Windows Media Edition for $1100. The striking thing about the laptop was that it not only had a keyboard with regular sized keys, it had a num pad. The keys for the six pack were there but they were above numpad. Interesting way to have the functionality of the desktop keystrokes and the portability of the laptop. I called FS and they confirmed that they support XP media edition as that media edition is XP Pro with some extra bells and whistles for folks who want to record live TV using their computer etc...I don't care at all about the TV functions but I am interested in the keyboard extension.
