Hello, Brenda,
You got the right idea. That whole thing costs about as much as a real good
used car. In fact, in the Philippines, you could buy a new car for that
much. I would expect that thing to work at least as well as a used and
well-cared-for car, a minimum of one year of good and reliable service. I
think this thing still has too many problems. I'm going to wait a few more
months before I recommend it to anybody.

Well,Bob, I haven't been too eagger to upgrade. I think a company comes up
with one good program, and then when it starts to compete, it just adds
bells and whistles. Now didn't this company merge? Either that entity will
come up with a good product, or I'm gone.
This stuff about email problems and disk denied problems shouldn't have
happened. Now in all fairness, maybe some users created the problem by
leaving cards and such in the system, something I don't do. Still I'm
suspicious of the upgrades. I'm not paying $300 for a batch of errers.
Besides, the new program with instructions should come on a Compact flash
card or a disk
You shouldn't need a PC to add a new program. Since I'm airing what I
think, I'll tell you something else. Whoever would send a disk drive
without a way to format those disks? I shouldn't have to do it on another
piece of equipment. I should be able to do it with my Voice Note. That
oversight is just stupid in my oppinion. Fix it. I brought this up before
with no response. In addition, I called the company with a problem I had
some two weeks ago. I sat on hold for about 45 minutes, left a message, and
got no response. I finally found a solution, but is this what PDI calls
service? Yes, I enjoy my system as it is, but I'm scared to send it back.
They might ruin it.
In addition, I think my previous version should be stored on that card in
case the newer version doesn't work. Loosing emails and abilities to use
flash cards etc. is inexcusable, especially for the prices PDI charges.
That's my view.

>Hi, Rhonda and list: Rhonda, I think you make a very salient point. Trust
your instincts, as I will, about this product. In general, the BN has been
a great product. I intend, for the time being, to stick with 5.1. That's
me. I'm sure that, eventually, these problems will be resolved. As Rhonda
said, if you're not sure, don't install. Have a great day. God bless. Bob
