Graham: Might not be a good idea to open that can of worms because lots of people have wireless as well as routers with no firewalls.
I would like to make one thing really clear. I am not questioning in any way shape or form HW's claim of no viruses. I am also not trying to worry people because this is for the most part a closed system. However everyone should always make sure that they do things in a responsible way. There are several points of entry Bluetooth Wireless Ethernet and your own pc. The one thing I have learned through years of working with pc.'s is that when you tell someone it can't be done somebody will do it just to prove them wrong. If that weren't the case then why are there virus updates nearly daily. Its not just bad programming from Microsoft its that there are a lot of really clever people out there who get there kicks out of doing things because they can. I would be willing to bet that nobody ever thought that they would get a virus through a picture either but they have. This is my last on the subject because Hw. Does no what they are talking about and because I am like the rest of you depending on that fact.

It seems the risks are low and the most likely danger, althpugh it has not happened yet, is cross over from viruses aimed at the mainstream handheld PCs. I suppose bluetoothing might increase the risk there slightly. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
