<smile> That just proves that not all fingers are equal. I can sometimes get my BrailleNote reset using only my finger, but it is a real struggle and I don't always succeed. I decided that the headphone plug, proving of no use in the headphone jack, will from now on be used to press the reset button instead. :-) I used to have the same problem with my laptop's reset button. Maybe it depends on the state of my fingernails on the day I need to do a reset.

I just laugh, nicely of course, when my friends with BN's in need of a reset go scrambling around for a stylus or some other pointy object to make this happen, when all they need is a finger. <Friendly Grin> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Frank M.Hernandez Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 8:13 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: re: [Braillenote] downloading e-mail I never use any of the objects list below, I just use my finger. I pres my finger tip right at the circular indentation and press and that's it. One day I was riding the bus and had to do a resent but I had nothing to press the resent button with. So in frustration, I just used my pointer finger and it work. Hope this helps. Frank.

You just have to do a regular reset by pushing a sharp object into the reset hole. Try again, you should be able to download them then.
