Hi, Chip. I'm really glad you never had problems with your stream, but for the first six months or so that I owned mine, I had endless problems with it turning itself off for no reason and I would constantly lose my place in my book. Eventually, I figured out that something was wrong with the battery contacts, and the problem got resolved, but then the stream developed a habit of skipping while it was recording. I never was able to figure out what was causing that one, so just worked around it as much as possible. My point is that over all, I had far more trouble with the stream then I've ever had from the booksense. The booksense has only completely locked up on me twice, and taking out the battery and replacing it solved the problem both times. Further more, I'm feeling extremely confident that a number of issues will be resolved when the next Booksense firmware is released. This is a good discussion to be having, but I just want to make sure that people who are on the fense about which product to buy are aware that the stream isn't quite as perfect as its supporters are making it out to be.

Bob, You may not agree with what's said, and that's your right; but, you shouldn't try and stop others from answering questions, or discussing the issues, and that's exactly what you're doing when you denigrate their postings by referring to the "dead horse" and "lighten up" and so forth. if you think the stream had just as many problems when it came out, fine, that's an opinion. I had it right from day one, and I *never* had a lockup, or any serious problem.

The Book Sense just came out. Let's ease up a little and give the Book Sense a chance when the new updates are released. The horse was dead quite a while ago. --Bob Ringwald K6YBV [email protected] Fulton Street Jazz Band 916/806-9551 Check out our latest recording at www.ringwald.com/recordings.htm The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
