Hi Larry: I've changed the subject to keep it legal. <smile> First though, thanks for confirming my belief re the CompactFlash card and I certainly am confident that I chose the better product. I downloaded the Book Port Transfer Tool from your web site this morning but wonder whether I should wait to install it until I receive my unit, ie. in case it expects the unit to be connected so it can record its serial and software version numbers; or will it do that when it sees the unit for the first time? Thanks. Cheers, Steve
