Hi Robert, Thanks for the clarification. I guess I'm lucky not
to have to download files that large more than every once in a
while. I agree, the BN family should contain as much flexibility
as possible. Still, it's better than any of the PDA's our
sighted cohorts have.

Hello Sarah,
I have many files to download each month, that are over 30 mb in
size. And in fact, the ks 7 upgrade was 40 mb, and everytime I
tried downloading, it locked up, and I finally looked and
remembered that it was not going to download, so I did it on my
pc, luckily for me, I have one, there are people without a pc,
And I suppose the question, shouldn't be how many times would I
want to download a file of that size, it should be what would
give the end user the greatest amount of flexibility in this
unit, and if it is allowing us to select where the image of a
downloaded file is so that we can download what we want, then
that makes this utit even greater.
I hope this gives you some insight to why I think we should have
a choice for the downloaded image.
These are just my opinions, and are in no way to put anyone down,
or upset anyone, so I hope it is taken inpositive terms.
Robert

Just curious, how many times, and in what circumstances, will a
person need to download an Email message of more than 25 or 30
megabytes? I don't think my ISP will allow me to send or receive
anything over ten MB.

Hello Sarah,
The e-mails on the braillenote are downloaded to my knowledge, on
the flashouldisk. The problem, is that a image of the e-mail or
attachment is first downloaded to the keysoft system disk, so if
it is larger than 30 mb it will not download.

I was under the impression that one was able to download files to
any storage option on the BN, thus bypassing the system disk.
Is this not true for Email attachments, are they handled in a
different manner?

Hello Dean,
I thought it might require a hardware upgrade, so I am wondering,
would it be possible, to give the user the option of where they
would have the origional image of the download to? Such as giving
the user the option of downloading to a compactflash card, this
could allow for one to download as large a e-mail as their
compactflash card is free.
I hope this is considered for a future upgrade, since it would
allow those who do not have the means for a computer, and a
braillenote, to download larger files. I have mentioned this
once before, but I have been told that the flashouldisk has 128
mb of space so that is efficient, but as I have learned, it isn't
about how much room is on the flashouldisk, it is how much space
is on the disk where the image is first downloaded to.
So this would greatly enhance the use of the e-mail program.
Thanks again,
Robert

Hello Robert,
While it might be possible to increase the size of attachments
that can be
downloaded in a future release of KeySoft, increasing the size of
the
KeySoft system disk would require a hardware upgrade.
Thank you for your feedback on this matter.

Hello Jonathan and list,
I first want to say that I am really enjoying the upgrade and
have already created a database and have played with the fm
radio
quite a bit.
Though I think the current version of ks is great, I would like
to see you increase the size of the Keysoft System Disk.
I am not sure if this would be a hardware upgrade or not, but I
have found, that there are attachments and other such items that
will not download on the braillenote, and for some, this is
their
only means of using a computer, for they can't aford a pc.
The reason I say this, is that the keysoft system disk at least
on my unit, is only 32 mb large, and when you download a
attachment, or whatever else, such as a mp3 file, it first is
loading a image on the ks system disk, and if it is larger than
32 mb or whatever size is free on your system, then you cannot
download this e-mail and attachment, and I think that this
should
really be looked into for a future release.
Thanks, and I will continue to play with the new features of ks
7.
Robert
