Hello Book Port Listers: As promised, I mentioned that I would keep the list apprised of any information I learned, as soon as I learned it. In lieu of the questions and comments in recent days on this list, concerning the problems with Springer Design and the fact that they have stopped the development of the Book Courier and what effect that might have on our product, I consulted with my supervisor and this is the response I received: "Because of additional problems with the development of the product, we are not going forward with the Book Port 2 project." I wasn't given anything other than this. I think the statement is pretty conclusive. I don't know if we're pursuing other manufacturers or if we're stopping altogether. Given the way the technology is evolving and the current products on the market, I'd be surprised if we do that, but again, this part is strictly my opinion. I think it's probably time for us to lick our wounds and try to move on. By the time we seek another vendor and put the process in motion, considerable time will have elapsed (we've already taken too long as it is). So, no Book Port 2, unless otherwise informed. We will continue to keep this list going for those of you who are still using the current product. Thanks! Sincerely, Pamela
