Jim - I've thought of a few more things that I couldn't see to write down in the dark.<g>

The new PBP2000 is about the size of a micro-recorder that records using cassettes -- maybe even a little smaller. It has an LED display and more buttons than the Flashback. You can create file folders for each new topic that you want to record. The folders are created by vocal command. It has a nice silver-grey finish. The Desk Mate, which the PBP2000 fits into, is sort of a small easel-type unit. It has com-port plug-ins in the back. This is the unit that allows for recording directly into the hard drive.

Don't think I mentioned the Zip Clip before. This little clip uses compression technology and allows for recording onto the hard drive with the PRESENT Flashback. The Zip Clip fits in where the present Sound Clip fits in. Then a microphone is attached (which is very small and looks sort of like a black triangle) and you can record onto the computer hard drive. You're limited in recording time only by the size of your hard drive. This is technology that works with the present Flashback. The PBP2000 is FUTURE technology which would replace the Flashback.

Our weather here was terrible this a.m. - heavy fog and rain - but there was a pretty good turn-out for the meeting, considering. I thought the presentation of the new technology was good. They had someone video-taping Bob Root demonstrating the equipment and the video was projected onto a theater screen. We all got a good "close-up" look at everything this way. Mr. Springer, who flew in from San Jose, had some interesting technology to show with the "World's Thinnest Disk Drive". I believe he said the circuits were thinner than a human hair. This is the technology that would eventually be put into the PBP2000, allowing for recording many hours - I think it was 30 hours. Is that right Chris or Jim?

They keep coming up with new applications for this technology and I'm sure it will eventually be put to uses they haven't even thought of yet.

That's about all I remember.
