List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, According to David Pellisher, (sp) the guy at Sighted Electronics, Elba is working with an outfit in Quebec, the same one that developed the Victor Reader. According to the info I have, they will be getting the same GPS stuff as will the Packmate. But apparently, this Quebec outfit has to do FS's work first, and then they can deal with Papenmeyer. Seems like an arsyversy way to operate since FS is so big and their Packmate, wannabe computer, is so clumsy and idiotic, but there 'tis. I feel the same way. If the Elba had GPS now, there'd be no contest, none! The BN has FTP, and Telnet, not this Activesync that the BN is using. The Elba has USB and Wireless support too. Ah, well, PDI says they're workin' on it. Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: akp@eznet.net ICQ Number: 33006854 WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp "All that is gold does not glitter.
