Hi, The cassette tape that comes with the BP is a very good starting place as well as the manual.

I hope this isn't out of line, but Larry Skutchan, who is on this list and replied to your first message, has his own pod cast. He works for APH, and if you go to www.blindcooltech.com and scroll through all the ones available (you'll have to go down pretty far), there is a whole bunch he does on using the book Port, etc. Very informative. Heck you could download them and transfer them to your Book Port and listen to them there. I plan to do that myself. I did listen to some of them before, but now that I have the unit... Plus there is one recent one on the updated features of the new firmware too. If I can't fit them on the card that comes with the BookPort (which I probably can), I'll put in the 2-gig I bought for this purpose, though I am not quite sure how yet since I've not worked with flash cards yet myself. One of the reasons I want to listen to these again, one of the things I want to learn again now that I have it in front of me. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tataindi Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 5:13 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: new, please help If I transfer files from my pc to the bp, where do they go?
