I have to agree with Richard here. I certainly use cf cards now, but
before the BN, I had never even heard of them. I also think that, depending
on where HW gets their cf cards, sending a cf card with every BN might be
expensive. Might it be possible to write whatever information it is that is
needed in a file in the general folder?

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.

Hi Terry, this would not be a good idea because new customers wanting to
hear the getting started tutorial may not know how to use data on a CF
or
SD card.

Re: [Braillenote] Tutorial
I prefer CF or SD cards because CDs are quite fragile. Why can't the
material be put on a CF or SD card instead of a CD?

: Hi KC, an audio CD and a CD ROM are absolutely the same physically.
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.

: No doubt, You will consider me stupid However, I don't know the

:
: More to the point, why did the CD, which consumers received
: inthe boxes with their M-Power Transplant or new M-Power, not

:
: Finally, can you truthfully say that using a CD-Rom Disk as
