Okay, I have no particular problem with a backup option of some sort in the
_transfer software_, but would not support its being a Book Port device
function. It would still be slower and harder on batteries than using a card
reader and copying directly from the card reader to the computer, but I can
see some usefulness in its being incorporated into the transfer software if
people are willing to accept those limitations.

Walt,
Sorry to keep bombarding you on this, but wouldn't the question "Would you
like to back up this document?" be exactly the same thing as when Word asks
"Would you like to Save this document?"
If BP can do it timely, then that could be a good thing; if not, then I
don't know what the answer is. As has already been pointed out, the vast
majority of users do not want to wait hours and lose huge chunks of battery
life for this function.
Additionally, Don may have initially proposed this as a "wish list" function
without getting into the nuts and bolts of implementation. As I said in a
prior message, I think Pamela or some other APH tech type should speak up on
this so we know if it is even feasible let alone worth discussing.
Michael
