Bruce, I agree. As I said, I wouldn't use this feature if it was
there. My son's car has an automatic seatbelt. I never drive anywhere
without fastening the belt, but I don't like being forced to use it... not
to mention the fact that it doesn't work correctly, and it is
annoying. Ah... From Bookports to seatbelts... The connection is indeed
a stretch, isn't it?

It's also probably a fairly easy feature to implement into the transfer software.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the LORD...
