I'm either hoping there exists some bluetooth solution, or maybe someone can suggest how to build an external unit using the headphone jack. Peter J.

If it had vibration then I could just set it on the counter while I am working or whatever else, then obviously I would still be notified of the event. Yes, it should have been included on the 2215. I presume that some day it will be standard on future ppc's :wink: I wonder if they are waying the fact of how it will affect battery life? I know on a cell phone that is always a consideration. __________________ "Do not try. Do or Do Not. There is no try"Yoda, Empire Strikes Back
