Hi Peter, John and Listers: This is my first posting to this list. It's been very helpful reading the e-mails. When I'm traveling, and have to go through airport security, I've found it very helpful to request that all of my computer equipment be hand scanned so that it doesn't go through the x-ray machines. I had to make the request several times as there are several people at the security areas. I'm very pleased with the new version of the bookport. I can tell that much effort has gone into it. I' especially pleased with the durability for Bookport, and the fact that it can be operated at different levels: from a beginner level to more advanced users. Best Regards, Virginia
