Ruthie, I appologize for misstating your name. Also, you are quite welcome
for the recommendation of the web site.
I was not brushing your questions aside and was perfectly serious and
hopefully helpful when recommending you read the manual, rather than
glancing through it, as you said you had done. This is a fantastic little
unit packed with many features quite foreign in such equipment and reading
about it is essential to understanding how it works. I was not inferring
you should take your questions off list and look up the answers in the book.
A great teaching tool you might use in the future is suggesting your
students do read the owners manuals for the devices they acquire. Great
care is put into constructing them to be as useful as possible so that users
get the fullest experience out of the equipment. I understand how you can
be the type to do and learn, as I learn best that way too, but you can't
beat a good basic understanding.
I have asked my fair share of what some probably thought were pretty simple
questions here and I imagine I will ask more no matter how long I have the
BookPort. I hope people will give me their best suggestion for resolving my
issues then, even if they include pointing out where that answer can be
found in greater detail in the manual.
Enjoy the BookPort and the season. It generally brings out the best in
people and I hope you find a lot of that come your way.

I wonder why people who are beginners even join this list; for those of you
who know what you are doing now, remember where you were in the beginning
stages. I never said I glanced at the manual. I said, I read it, and I do
better learning by doing. I didn't know it was a crime to ask questions on
this list. In the manual, it states that this is a good group to join to get
assistance, and I'm being told to read the manual. I teach and certainly
would never tell a customer to read his/her manual. Some do better by asking
questions and doing, as do I. For those who can read manuals and use that
method for learning I applaude you.
Secondly, my name is r u t h i e and not r u t h. Perhaps speech didn't pick
it up right.
Thanks for the info on the tutorials. I do not have an mp3 player on my
computer, though. I'll check out his web site, as sometimes even though
info is mp3, it will play in Windows Media format.
Ruthie
