[Reader-users] official newbie

[James Jolley]

Hi,

Welcome aboard! Your really going to have fun with the product. I myself use 
it on everything from magazines to packages. If it works, it works, treat it 
like that. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that.

Now that you have the new update, it would be nice to here your thoughts on 
the new inverse video suport. This is something that I myself am looking 
forward too as I do read a lot of magazines with mine and some are better 
than others.

Happy snapping and remember, the reader can also read your dentle bill so 
watch out <grin>
