Hi Vicky and Others; At convention, HW was talking about having a long list of requests. They were talking about needing to see how many wanted a feature and put things in sequence as to their importance. Part of our problem might be that they are not giving as much attention to the list and I am hoping more attention to testing before 7.5 comes out. We do not want another episode like, I think it was 7.2, with all the bugs in it. They came across to me as if they were studying our requests in detail. Iff they only have 10 people wanting a feature it surely will never get answered, but if they have a few hundred asking for the same feature it will most likely be answered if possible. I sure miss Jonothan and it saddened me when I heard him up at the podium talking about the Packmate. To me, he and Dean were the iron supports of this list. When there are changes in management, it has an effect on everyone. I love my m-power. Terry Powers

However, kind of bringing things back down to earth a bit, I can't help but mention what Maurice said in his email to the list in May of this year. Remember, he was talking about the SSL encryption being in the next release, and then the improved Word support being the main thrust of the next release after that one. Also, while I'm writing, I can't help but wonder a bit just where the BN note takers will be headed in the next year or two. This is especially true when we see HW putting more emphasis on its own Trekker GPS, not to mention partnering with companies such as Code Factory to give folks other more portable and main stream options for PDA type devices. Then, too, we have the Sendero GPS soon to be on the note takers distributed by GW Micro. Of course I have no way of knowing; but, I can't help but wonder if perhaps we shouldn't be taking our clues as to where the BN in its current form is headed from how the list regarding this product is now handled by the HW staff? Although I will still have another SMA count on my mPower, the SMA for my PK is up after KS 7.5 is released, and I'm seriously considering whether or not to purchase another one. I mean, in the past, we've kind of always had the idea from HW that they were concerned about the BN family members development, and that good things were still to come, so to speak. However, in the last several months, well, for who knows what reason, I just haven't gotten that impression anymore. Now, don't get me wrong, my PK still goes practically every where with me, but I also realize that technology is something that is almost always going to change. And, although it is kind of hard to believe, I've now had this PK for almost three years. Vicky Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
