Again, tasks that are memory or disk space intensive are better done on
a PC.  You could do your downloading on a PC and use CF or SD cards to
port the material to the Braillenote.  Think of how sighted folks use
PDA's.  They are basically an extension of a PC.  The heavy work is done
on the PC, and materials that are needed temporarily are ported to the
PDA.  You really need to consider the task at hand and use the best tool
to accomplish the task.  For those who can only afford one tool, then
you need to get the one best tool for that job, which in some cases
might be a PC.  I don't think you would want to enter a Volkswagen in
the indianapolis 500.

Hi all,

Roger, the problem I think we are having here is that many, many people
tend to use their flash disks for storing things like books and so on,
as well as files.  I have nothing on my flash disk except the planner
and the address book and one or two documents.  All else is stored on
either my flash cards or the disk drive.  

Some people may not know how to tell the BN to store books and such on
anything other than the flash disk.  

I downloaded four books from BookShare today, and I didn't have to do a
reset at all.  That's because  I told the BN to download them to my PC
Card.  

I did, however have trouble, a lot of trouble on Web-Braille.  I have
also had trouble on other web sites where the pages are large.  I think
the BN can not cope with large amounts of text in memory.  I've
given up on Web Braille with the BN, frankly.    It just doesn't work
at all now.  

Ann P.
