I think we have addressed this problem in beta 14 which is coming today. >>> gwunder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Thursday, February 24, 2005 5:03:52 PM >>> I agree the BP is responsive to large files but do seem to find there are delays in some files which are longer than others when my unit is off and I press the 2 key for it to begin reading. Sometimes it can take over a second to begin speaking and sometimes considerably less. Is this a function of file size, how many files are in a folder, or something other than these factors?
