Thank you for changing it Sandy. Seriously, some people just aren't happy unless they're complaining about something!

I'm also excited about it, but probably won't jump on it until they have the WMA with DRM support in place. On the other hand, the built-in speaker, usb
2.0, and the thinner flat design might be a little difficult to pass up.

I think a lot of people are disappointed with the Book Port 2 because
they're seeing the present and not looking into the future. The BP2 is about
potential, not instant gratification. I'm excited about it.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A   .
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14 I will be found by you," says the Lord.
