Rhonda, I believe your point is well taken. I suppose people would like either a shorter start up sound or just that they'd like one that was more pleasing to them. Let us hope that those who try this are good enough use so that they will not do any permanent harm.

If you have to put it back in each time you reset, what is the purpose? What is actually wrong with the original startup sound? I ask these questions, because if you get a lot of people messing around in there equipment, they may not know what they are doing. Information is good, but sometimes, I think we are leading people down a path that may wind up hurting their equipment. That is my two cents, and I'll get flack for it, and hopefully, one cents change. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Joseph Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: BrailleNote List <[email protected] >Date sent: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:05:06 -0800 >Subject: [Braillenote] Tweaking KeySoft - Part 1: Changing Startup Sound >Dear list, >Thanks to someone who've sent me a private >email, I'm now sending you the instructions >on how to change the startup sounds from the >normal one to the one that you want. >You'll need a wav file that is no more than 5 >seconds long, otherwise it will cause >problems. >Notes of caution: please keep this in mind: >* When you press Reset with dots 4-5-6 (JKL) >or if you've performed Service Reset (mPower >only), you'll lose the sound file.
