Just like Kevin's message and your message below, I have brought these issues directly to this list and directly to Mr. Nemoto's attention via e-mail as well as Plextalk's e-mail tech support. To date, I've not received a single acknowledgement of my suggestions usefulness or otherwise, and of course nothing in terms of a simple: "We're working on that or we'll take that under consideration." then again, a couple of the features of the upcoming firmware, to my knowledge, are a result of suggestions made by users on this list. Maybe now that we have some Plextalk people on the list who seem to be listening closely, hopefully we'll at least receive acknowledgement of our small yet greatly annoying PTR1 hassles. Hope this doesn't start a slew of complaints, or should I say creative criticism.
Some of you are yet to discover that when listening to a daisy book on PC card, I'm using the Toshiba 5 gig, the mechanism will become stuck and you will need to pull the battery out of the unit to be able to turn it back on and get the audio back. Hopefully you will not lose your daisy files. Just a little warning. Don't get me wrong, being able to use the Toshiba card is without a doubt my favorite feature of the PTR1 since I can essentially carry a small library contained in a card the size of a credit card--really, really neat. I just wish there were more stability in the PTR1. Again, since my PTR1 disaster last week, and since I now have nothing to lose as my PTR1 is now at factory defaults, looking forward to what the end of July brings us.
