Hi Martha:
I'm not Joseph, <grin>. I understand that the SD card, "Secure
Digital" is now a faster card, as far as downloading goes. They
are certainly much smaller, and can hold a lot of information.

Hi Martha:
This is Jolena Foster. I can tell you that it would be good to
download
the bible onto a card. I have the bible downloaded onto a
compact flash
card, and it is wonderful. I don't know much about the
difference between
the sd card and the compact flash card, except that that the
compact flash
card will go in either the back of your braillenote; and it can
also go in
your pcmcia. I'm sure that there are others who know about this
stuff more
than I do. Hope this helps. Take care and have a good day.
Sincerely,
Jolena Foster
Look to the future ahead of you

Hi Joseph!
I have several questions, and hope that you can give me simple,
down-to-earth explanations.
First, what is the difference between a "flash card" and a "sd
card?"
They seem to be about the same thing, but not sure quite what the
difference is.
Next: Would you be able to tell me how to download a file from
my PC to
my BrailleNote M-Power? I just have a serial cable connecting my
PC to
my BN. My bn has a braille keyboard.
Last, I want to download the Bible, and wonder if it's best to
put it on
a card? I'm afraid the braillenote wouldn't have enough room to
store
it.
In the manual, there seem to be a lot of warnings about what not
to
download, one wonders if anything can be downloaded at all! But
the
manual has been very helpful, but there are times when I need
things
just a bit more portable.
Thanks for your time, and for helping me.

Subject: RE: [Braillenote] multi-tasking
Dear list,
This is Joseph. I would also like to add my thoughts. From
general and
technical point of view, multitasking means the process of
running two
or
more applications at the same time. In reality, it is possible,
but you
can
focus on one application at a time. For example, it is possible
to read
a
book and compose an email at the same time. Let us say that you
were
reading
a book and composing at the same time, although you can focus on
reading
the
book. While it is already implemented, the limitations also
exist. While
you
can compose and read at the same time, you can only focus on one
thing
at a
time. Windows CE allows multitasking. Listening to media and
doing other
thing is an example of multitasking, except with some twist.
Because PK
and
mPower has dual-channel sound card, so you can listen to the
media fle
and
the speech at the same time. Again, for the usual traffic
reasons, I'll
close my thoughts right now.
P.S. Please, people, keep the messages in topic please.

Subject: [Braillenote] multi-tasking
Dear List,
There was some discussion about wanting to multi-task and the
wish of a third-arm. Well, if you really think about the
possibility of a third-arm; do you really think you would be able
to process all of this information at one time? It isn't possible
to take audio streaming, book reading aurally, book reading using
Braille, reading email all at the same time efficiently. The
Braille is able to run things such as an audio stream while
reading email and things like that, but if you were to go an
further with multi-tasking it becomes extremely inefficient. That
is
just my
thoughts on this topic. I suggest thinking about
reality before posting something like this--it isn't possible for
any human to do this efficiently.
Kevin
