[Reader-users] Software Upgrade

Tue Jul 3 07:40:53 CDT 2007

Give me a break.  I paid for mine personally.  I never even considered 
attending the convention.  How long  will any of us have to wait?  Maybe a 
month.  I waited considerably longer than that to have access to such  a 
wonderful piece of technology.  I hardly think I  need to cry about waiting 
another month  or even another year.
