Hi, folks: I thought I'd say a few things. First, I pretty much agree with what Jim Aldrich said, especially, as it pertain to not using the list to berate Humanware. Certainly, there are things about which to be frustrated. For instance, Rhonda and I, and possibly others have talked about the fact that word separations occur. This is to say, that words ar" broken up with an exclamation mark, with the rest of the word appearing on a different line. This is kind of like the attachment issue: it may not be important to a lot of folks, but it sure is important to some. Bringing up an issue is important; sending hundreds of emails about a particular issue, saying the same thing again and again, such as: "Gee I wonder when my upgrade will come", or "BOY, I sure hope my upgrade comes soon!", is wasteful. Also, if you realize that a particular thread is going in a different direction, and you want to continue with the new discussion, please change the subject line!!! Say, for instance, there's a thread, called "wireless connectivity." Now I'm not interested in that, because I still have area. That means that, whenever i see the subject line, "wireless connectivity" I'm going to delete that message. But, supposing the discussion has now turned to cool web sites. Well, I'm interested in that, but, unless the subject line is "cool web sites", I won't know it. Like most of you, I just read about what I'm interested in. Please, therefore, be so good to change the subject line, as the discussion changes. Next, if there's one thing that Humanware, or any company knows, it is that the relationship between a business and its customer is fragile. All of us, myself included, have had moments of exasperation or frustration with the BN and its family. Berating the company on an email list is counter-productive; it doesn't change a thing. You have to write to Humanware, and tell them. That works. Now, then, I saw the M-power today, and got a chance to play with it, and to meet HW's new Eastern rep, Carol Stone, and Matthew Janusaskis. (Hope I spelled his name right.) The M-power is impressive. You can stream audio, and use Windows Media Player, Mp3 or WAV files. The record feature is really cool. Say, for instance, you record someone's name, phone number and address. You can go to your address book, and write it down, as you listen to it! Also, you can have stuff paying in the background, while you do other things. I was really impressed. Oh! Who was that, who just offered to buy me one? hahahahaha Well, I've shot my mouth off (or fingers) enough for tonight. ONE more thing: why would we need more than one synthesizer on a piece of equipment? Just wondering. Good night. Bob and Maxy-wax
