Hi,
Quite frankly given the cost of the equipment and the amount of
money we pay for upgrades. Drive space on web servers to house additional
file types , are not actually any excuse. One can purchase a domain for 1
year, receive 1000MB of server space, 70000GB of monthly transfer, and more
little features then one would ever use, for $71.00. The monthly cost to
house this hypothetical extra file types would be $6.00. In addition to
this I would assume the they being such a large and mighty multi national
company could get this cost down much more dramatically.

Subject: [Braillenote] zip files
I am going to leave this subject alone for Humanware to do what they will,
but not without expressing some final thoughts. Yes, zip files would take
up a little more space on the site, but given the fact that two of us have
had a problem accessing the .bin files, one would think that the least that
Humanware could do for the sake of good customer relations if nothing else,
would be to at least be receptive to a compromise. Yes, we can find other
people to download patches for us, zip them and send them to us, but major
upgrades are a different story. It is not asking too much to have zipped
files of at least major releases available. So what about leaving patches
as they are and having two alternatives for major releases.
Those of you who have expressed your "two cents" that it's fine as it is,
I'm sure that's the case for you since you were able to access the files
with no problem. However, I suspect you wouldn't feel the same if you were
in the same boat with Peggy and me. There will likely be others, since I
can't imagine that only two of us will end up experiencing this. I realize
it is not a fault of Humanware, but whether it's with the internet
providers, microsoft, or whatever the case may be, we have a problem with
the files. I hope that you will see fit to remedy the situation.
Pam
