Just to recap, this list is the place to express your ideas about cool
new things you'd like to see Book Port do. It doesn't mean we can do
everyone of them, but be assured, we are keeping track of them, and we
pay attention.
Certainly, other people will express their opinion about what they like
and don't like, and that's great, to. What we do not want to do on this
list is get into a war about why this or that idea is good or bad.
Let's just gather the ideas and leave the personal comments to
ourselves.

If it's ok to make suggestions, it's also ok to express your opinion
of
such suggestions.
I have all the FM radios I need, so I won't use the feature.
That doesn't mean that I don't feel that anyone doesn't have a perfect
right to suggest any feature they'd like to see.

I would like to have a radio in the bookport because then, everything
would
be all in one saving people having to get separate things.
From Amanda.
