I suspect very strongly that if it's technically possible to produce a
player that's NLS digital-capable by means of software alone, this will be
offered and that Randy is wrong in his belief that the decision will be made
purely on the basis of what offers the best marketing incentives from APH's
point of view. However, I'm by no means convinced that such a device can be
produced on the existing hardware via software alone, meaning that an
entirely new player will be required. However, this is _all_ pointless
speculation until such time as APH announces what's going to be available,
so there's really no point in getting very wrought up about it.

Hi Kitty,
Boy I hope that you are not right, but am afraid that could be possible.
Many who own current book ports may not be able to afford a new Book Port.
I hope we get a clearer understanding from Larry and whoever may know. For
example, we know that a 486 machine is too slow and not equipped to run
Windows Vista. It would be nice to understand why the old Book Port
transfer software cannot be written to read the new NLS books. But then
again, maybe APH will give us some pleasant news and make the software work
with the NLS books so they can be read. Let's hope so.
Tim
