Hi folks:
I can't get notes from my laptop to copy to my Bookport. I thought I had all
the right boxes checked, but Apparently I'm doing something wrong. I've read
the manual several times but still don't know why notes aren't copying. I'm
running Windows 2000 and Outlook 2000 also. Can one of you who does this
successfully give me or the List a "step-by-step"?
Thanks in advance.

.Development costs money, quite a bit of money I might add.
.APH is not Microsoft, and the Bookport is an amazing product.
.Certainly there will be added functionality, but let us approach such
.additions with logic and reasonable expectations. I have stated earlier
.that I would like to have an alarm feature. I have also stated that I
.would like to have a way to restore settings from a file so as to avoid
.having to enter all of my settings when the unit crashes. I would also
.like a way to know what file I'm in without having to leave the file.
.That functionality once existed and now it is gone.
.Finally, what about the ability to play mp3 files in shuffle mode?
.That one isn't necessary, and it isn't really important, but it might be
.fun.
.Again, none of the functionality changes I am suggesting here go beyond
.the parameters in which this wonderful little device so nicely fits.

.Because every suggestion is going to require _at least_ the time of the
.programmers who write the firmware. Whether a feature has been
.implemented
.on some other device is totally irrelevant to implementing it on the
.Book
.Port. This is aside from issues such as memory requirements, possible
.hardware changes, etc.

.And why would my suggestions make the price higher, if what I am asking
.has
.already been done and implemented in the 1993 braille 'n speaks?
.It's not like I'm asking them to make it into a windows ce notetaker.
.I'm
.just asking it to have some more of the functions that the braille 'n
.speaks
.have in them.
