I'm with Lois on this one. (smile) I'd swear that the Book Port voice does have his own personality. Or maybe I just got used to the voice since I used a LiteTalk under DOS. I also like the folder structure on the Book Port. It works more intuitively for me. The handling of rtf and doc files is also important to me, and the Book Port makes this so easy. I can categorize my content by subject instead of my type of media. Monica Willyard "The best way to predict the future is to create it." -- Peter Drucker
