- No kidding. There's no excuse for this unit having this small a memory
- if their preprogramming is going to be as crappy as it is (I own one too,

- Not that much of a problem once you're used to it, IMHO. I easily
- learned where the buttons are, and the backlighting is basically for
- letting you see where your finger goes.

- And reason number 4 to not pay through the nose for this baby - it
- eats batteries!!! I bought mine ~three months ago and it's already
- completely drained 5 AAA batteries despite minimal use because I don't
- really like it.
