[Electronics-talk] Digital Talking Book Players

[David Andrews]

Thanks Jim:

I understand that everybody wants to help, I do myself, but if we 
don't have some guidelines and parameters, then chaos ultimately 
develops away, which drives people away and makes a list less 
effective.  People should discuss electronics and appliances here, 
windows on gui-talk, and DTB's on dtb-talk.  People need to know what 
they will find on a list, not everything.
