But how long will APH support Bookport 1?  I understood that they would do so 
as long as they had the parts.  Am I correct here?

  I'm not so down.  Am disapointed they won't have overdrive at first.  Will 
wait till they do; otherwise it's too much like what I already have.
  Consolation for Suzanne. 
  I'm staying openminded on the batteries.  The speach isn't a big issue.  I 
may still prefer external speakers, but it will be nice not to have to mess 
with headphones when I want to check something quick.
  I was a lot more impressed with the icon braille than I had expected. 
  Let's all wait till the real thing comes out and some of the bugs are worked 
out before becoming supercritics.

       Well, I listened to main minue last night on a c b radio and I was 
singularly disappointed. We will still have that same old speech program and, 
really not much more. Yes a stereo mike and the ability to change the recording 
settings but, I herd nothing about a line in jack.
       The charging set up will be different but I really don't see that as an 
improvement. With book port one you can get some rechargeable double ayes and 
just change them when you need to. With the new one you half to by a 
proprietary battery from the printing house or leave your computer on while the 
unit charges. Yes one can plug it in to an a c outlet but, if your in an 
airport that is out of the question. 
       Did I get the wrong impression or is the new one upgradeable just like 
the old one or what.
       Think I will just limp along with my old one and wait for book port 
three.
