Are these files on your computer? Frankly, the mPower is wonderful, but you're asking an awful lot of it to display a 90 something megabyte file. It's like asking a Honda to pull a train. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karen McDonald Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 12:42 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] STRANGE MPOWER QUIRKS
Kylee, the point isn't that I can't open the file. First, I don't want to have to use a computer to do that. That defeats the purpose of portability. The issue is the fact that the network card seems to make a difference in the speed at which the list of files is shown.
