I would certainly second the idea that whenever the BP is connected to
the PC, the BP's clock is set to the time and date on the computer. =20

Hi Larry,
This is a very impressive list. I would like to add to be able to set
the clock to a atomic clock on the web or to the PC. As a former Echo
user and can user nearly any synthesizer. =20

That is a good idea Neal, and it is certainly worth considering.

Wow, now that's a nice list. I especially like the increased
recording
quality and a microphone jack. With the Book Ports ability to do
notes
in braille and the addition of the ability to record a lecture, what
other device would one need?
I think my suggestion below is perhaps ahead of where you may want to
be, but I'll make it anyway.
If you're going to increase the recording quality, what about a way to
link up recorded notes with points in a book. For example, one might
record a memo based on what one is reading and use the keypad to
produce
a different kind of mark which when reached in play back, would jump
to
and play the recorded file. When the file was finished, the listener
would be returned to the place in the text where they left off. It
would be rather like writing notes in the margin. As a student, I
would
have loved such a feature.
I know, that's asking a lot and I think the book port is great as it
is,
but if you're looking for other ideas, I believe the one above might
be
one people would use.
Neal
