Hi Penny, Extensive use of your wireless card should not wear it out. Some cards do fail after a while, but this may just be due to poor quality control by the card manufacturer or some other factor. But, the MPower should not wear out your card.
Humanware does advise removing the card when you're not using it, but this is primarily to avoid excessive drain on the battery and also it's a good idea to remove the card if you need to do a reset. I'm sure a wireless card can wear out over time from repeated insertion and removal from the unit, but whether this is related to the number of times you put it in or take it out of the MPower is really hard to tell. Maybe it will be easier to know more about this after the unit has been on the market for a few more months and a lot more cards have gone through extensive use. But, if you really use your card a lot and do rely on it, it might not be a bad idea to save up some money and get an extra one to keep around as a spare just in case. How do you like that for a hedging answer? <smile> Don ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
