Hi Paul, I think I know of a way you could keep track of your hours. Open a Keyword document and use the insert time function to indicate your starting time. Use the same function when you've finished that session to indicate your ending time. You'd have to do the math then, but it would at least give you some indication. Hth.

Was [Braillenote] A suggestion regarding alarms Hi, Jerry. The problem is that if I use the stopwatch to time my usage, I will drop even faster. I would have to note my stopping and starting times some other way. Otherwise, I am not going to get an accurate reading. But there is no way that I am getting even 16 hours. I use the unit probably an hour a day or so, but that is it. I edit while I read so the amplifier is always on, still, I probably only get five to eight hours per week, maybe ten if I use it a lot that particular week. Perhaps I don't get anywhere near the number of per ported hours because I use it sporadically each day rather than for long stretches.
