I think it is worth it. Thanks for the input.

Hi. I believe it is $425. It was when I bought my first bn
classic.
It is more expensive than using flash cards, but then you have
that memory
and it doesn't drain the unit like leaving in a flash card would.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to upgrade to 42 mb? I'd
be
interested.

Bob, what about upgrading your memory to 48 mb? Would that fixthe problem of not enough room? This would cost more money, but it's better than forking out all that money for an MPower. I'm still going back and forth whether to upgradde my classic to KS7.0, or to scrape, or borrow, enough money for the MPower.
Good luck with this.

Hi, folks: First, let me say that I love my BrailleNote BT32, which I've had since May, 2003. I use it every day. When it was in for repair, last March, I was lost without it. I say all of that, because, when you read what's coming next, you'll think I'm very negative. It took me a long time to go from 5.1 to the 6.11 upgrade, but, when I did it, I was reasonably glad I'd done it. It sure made sending and receiving email a lot easier, and navigating the Internet was better. There were aa few issues, such as downloading books, which posed challenges, but, when I heard that they'd been addressed in the forthcoming 7.0 upgrade, I was happy. I didn't care about the games; I bought the upgrade for the fixes. I installed 7.0 a couple weeks again. Immediately, I noticed that my Flash Disk, which had had about 5MB worth of space on it, was almost full! Therefore, I moved some folders to the CF card I had. However, I must tell you that I have had more frustration with this upgraade than with any other. The problem is, there's too much of it! It fills the Flash disk, as well as the Keysoft System Disk. It causes the BN to lock up very often, either in the middle of downloading email, or trying to link on the web. The only way to get out of it is to do a reset. I have had to do as many as ten resets a day, something which can never be good for a unit. Also, the procedure for downloading large documents is the same. The only difference is, since there's less room now the BN locks up more. You can't send as many attachments, because there's not as much room on the Flash disk, which is where they're stored, until they get sent. If I had any hair left, I'd have pulled it all out by now thanks to this upgrade. As I said before, it's too big for the Classic. I wish there was a way to get rid, for instance, of the games, including removing them from the Windows folder. I'm not picking on the gaames, although I, personally, have no use for them. Actually, I think that, if you're going to continue to make upgrades for the classic, they should be modular. You'd pay for the whole thing, but choose the parts you want. But, frankly, there's too much on the claassic as is, and any more would just do more damage. Since I can't reverse the upgrade, I have to live in a state of nervousness, being afraid that the constant resetting will ruin my machine. I'm glad that HW tried to help us Classic users, but I fear that they've done more harm than good. Sorry that this was so lengthy. God bless all of you. Bob and Maxy-wax P.S. It's very sad that people can't send long email as well. I'll be dealing with this, when I send out our center's next newsletter.
