Well, making the technology available just makes it more likely for peopel to want to try. I think what might be better is if they could release the instructions for an SDK, but then programmers would have to send their sourcecode to Humanware to get compiled. This would make sure that all programs were both benevolant, and made the best use of the braillenote's resources as the humanware staff could look at hte code and see ways where it could be improved. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott E Ford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hello,
Yes I suppose that you are correct in that regards.  However you
could also have a plane fly into your house.  There are many more easer
targets to hit then a bn out there.  I believe that an sdk will really
enhance the bn line of products.  I do not think that it will increase the
risk enough to be concerned.  I have not stopped traveling because of the
increased risk of terrorism either though.

But understand I know there is no threat of a virus for the bn, I am just
saying do not say its impossible when it really is.

Hi Everybody,

I bought my voicenote qwerty in late June of 03, and I haven't been plagued
with any viruses at all.  (knock on wood)

Why look a gift horse in the mouth.

I hope that Your life is beautiful, just like mine.

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.

Can you confidently explain why not. I'm curious?

Do we not have a virus risk already do to the fact that we run windows?

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?

I for one agree that if there was a SDK then we could build a messenger

program that would allow us to communict and have a PDA like others,
and also develop altive programs for one the planner so it is more like

the Outlook one that is on every other device out there I belive :-)

Any how I don't have a device yet but form what I am reading and have
read in the manul   and played around with on the standard classic VN
QT

This topic should make for a interesting subject and maybe give insight

in to the next KeySoft

Thanks

hi humanware staff especially jonothan,

Can a software development kit be developed to help expand our
braille

notes? I love the braille note and i am getting an m power, but i
feel

that other products in the competition are better as more software
can

be added to enhance the usage of the product in questions. for the
braille note can a program be made that is wizard driven or something

to enable us to indipendantly write programs for other users
like
spreadsheets, games, databases, etcetra?
or,  has the m power paved the way for us to gain access to third
party
applications? a messenger program like MSN, AOL and Yahoo or all
three,
would be cool if we are on teh move and using our braille notes in
all
new
ways
what you think
regards, all the best, will
p.s. cant wait for my m power
