Confidently? No, since I can't confidently say why people write viruses in the first place. (It's one of the most despicable things a computer-literate person can waste there time on, and I would really like to see what would happen if all this effort were to be directed somewhere less harmful, but anyway...) My layman's explanation as to why a BrailleNote is safe from the garden-variety virus is that the virus has nothing to communicate with, nothing to "hook on" to. I don't know, maybe it's like having a non-secure network, and we feel safe until we've been attacked. Sorry I don't have any valuable virus-related facts here, I'm just reiterating what I've been hearing from those in the know for years.

Yeah, But you don't want people who don't know what they're doing to develop programs. That is a draw back. Also, would the virus risk be increased? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Emery Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 3:03 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] software development kit?
