Bernie, hopefully you'll have some better luck than ESH did. Well at least I did with my MPP ver 4.0. As ESH mentioned in his posts he had lots of frustrating problems with battery charge issues. I experienced some problems myself, but by the time I got my upgraded MPP ver 4 I think tech support worked thru the issues. They gave me a procedure that's also posted on their web site for bringing the battery back to life. It worked very well and I now am able to get 2.5 to 3 hours of life from the battery. Bernie I purchased the optional overpriced floor stand. It works well. Esh that is a neat looking setup you have. Using the table stand surely reinforces the stablility of the MPP.

I also purchased the the optional tools and Esh is right they are a rip. For what the MPP costs they should give you that upgrade no charge. Although there is room for improvement to the MPP it beats hauling around those 4 inch thick fake books. I'm with Esh, the MPP has lots of potential especially with more effort from Freehand Systems.
