Hi Sarah,, Jim here.
I have no answer to your problem, but I hope you have one for me. How do I
get off the book port list? I bought a laptop and as of now, am not going to
buy a book port. However, I can't figure out how to get off this list. I
even posted a question to the list on how to do this, and no one has
responded. Does anyone know how to leave the list? If you can give me a
clue, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Jim.----- Original
