Hi Ken, Slightly off-topic, but wanted to say that I so appreciate you doing the original NADSBox run as I still use mine at least weekly. I take notes in portable situations where the M-102 and the NADSBox can often be a better, more compact solution than a smart phone, tablet, etc.
So my NADSBox is still going strong! I just find it works better in my situation than using another machine as a storage device. Thank you!
