Mark, Sheldon & Al, thanks a bunch. Movieclip.biz's Prompt software looks very nice indeed. I did already see that movie clip of the actual teleprompter kit on youtube...Great solution for studio recording but it's clunky and definitely not very portable. PrompterPeoples vlogger looks like a possibility but needs further investigation. so the search continues...wanted to say thanks a bunch for your info...
