Alex, 1. There are many dangers on using this. I would like to clarify what matt wrote on the other message: if you take out your card while it is loading, then it will hault the update process. If you take out the card while it is erasing or writing, then it is fine. 2. You can use HyperTerm, but it is just a binary code of information.3 . I do extensive Internet research (particularly I use Wikipedia). Also, I explore my BrailleNote often (like Matthew).
