Hi,
Wow, that's sweet! It's too bad about the DoubleTalk synthesizer, but
frankly, I know that everyone has their own synthesizer preference so I will
not stress over that really. But if all this is true, great job, APH. If I
win the lotto, I'll be buying the new Book Port.
P.s. Oh, so does this mean there will be no CompactFlash type I slot? I
assume that this is so, although it's too bad, really.
