Hello Keith,

Thanks for the kind note you wrote here.  Yes, those are good questions 
that you raise.  It is why I thought to inquire here, that sensible 
minds may have some good things to say.  A Palm has just a smaller 
screen.  I thought about the sale they had, but then let the hours 
pass, until it was gone.

I am going to try a download tonight now of the Bible+  software.  
Thank you for the kind offer.   First I will see about a download, and 
get something here at hand, then I will remember your offer.

Gratituity from me here now.
