the people that make the artic notetakers are artictech.com that is: http://www.artictech.com add that to your favorites in your bn's <smile.> Their notetakers are nice and cheap! You can get a transtype qwerty artic notetaker for about $1300. Why not bring the voicenotes down to that price? The only thing I don't like about the artic is there is no multilingual support.
