A good thing about the The Book

Hi all,

one thing that pleased me after owning the TB for a day or two was that after switching it on it didn't announce it was ready to go with a burst of "ta-da!" music.

My phone does (and I think most do); so too my Windows XP install; Ubuntu as well. I find this tiring and unnecessary.

The TB though, stays silent and either takes you to the last page you were reading or gives you a menu to pick from. Quietly.

I was just musing about the number of appliances/gadgets/thingies we have and how some chime/peep/buzz to announce their functionality, yet others do not.

Just thought I'd add that in, because the TB has some nice features (though a supportive, professional distributor is not amongst them) and this is something I find pleasant.

Cheers,
