Precisely. If you are truly new to the Braille Note, chances are you may never have seen a CF card, and you certainly wouldn't know how to insert one and find files on it.

The : difference is in the way that they are formatted. An audio CD can be : played in any CD player, a CD Rom can only be used on a computer. The : audio CD you are talking about is one of two CDs that ships with every : BrailleNote. It used to be a cassette, now it's a CD. The issue is not at : all a financial one for HumanWare, it is a customer focus issue. Not all : BrailleNote users have access to a computer. If we made the audio CD a CD : ROM, then non-PC users would not be able to access the audio material at : all. The approach we are taking now means that Deaf Blind people and those : who prefer text have complete access in hardcopy Braille, on the other CD : which ships with the unit which is indeed a CD ROM, and on board the unit : itself. We even ship it in print, in case someone needs sighted : assistance, so we've covered all bases. I don't see that anyone is being : disadvantaged here, since the way things are at present, everyone, whether : they have a computer or not, whether they are Deaf Blind or not, has : completely equal access to the same information. It's a physical : impossibility for us to do all this on one CD. : Jonathan Mosen : BrailleNote Product Marketing Manager : HumanWare : : 11 Mary Muller Drive : Christchurch New Zealand : DDI: +64-3-940-2219 : http://www.humanware.com : : : : kathleen spear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : 19/08/2006 04:59 a.m. : Please respond to : Braillenote List <[email protected]> : : : To : Braillenote List <[email protected]> : cc : : Subject : RE: [Braillenote] Tutorial : : : : : : : Jonathan : No doubt, You will consider me stupid However, I don't know the : difference between a CD-Rom disk and a CD disk.
