THANK YOU, Steve, for this outstanding new software, that will come  
on the PocketPuddle! I hope all of you will help Steve test the new  
software (see below), which soon will be available on the

What is a PocketPuddle?

Read about it:
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle.html

or purchase one...
http://www.suttonshop.com/ecommerce/pages/products_sw_detail.jsp?id=49.0

The PocketPuddle will give you updates as new versions of the  
software are developed...but it is a private Puddle just for you, on  
a USB flash drive which you plug into your computer's usb port...

Meanwhile, the software needs to be tested so I hope you will help  
all of us by reading Steve's message below and testing it...

Thanks for your help! We look forward to your feedback...

Val ;-)
