Hello and welcome to the BN/VN world! congratulations!
7.2 is the latest stable version; 7.5 was released but had
problems so it is temporarily out of action. You will not find a
5gb card in the new types (cf, sd, or usb). You will find from
512mb to 8gb, in increments of 2--512mb, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb. You
will probably want a cf (compactflash) or sd (secure digital)
card. Cf cards are bigger but BN takes up to 8gb models. For
size, imagine a card that fits into the long slot on the back of
your unit between the slave USB port and the serial ports, and is
a little less deep than it is wide, if that makes sense. SD cards
come up to 32gb, but the bn will not take anything larger than
4gb. They are about the size of a postage stamp and go in the
slot below the slave usb port on the back of your machine. USB
drives are a different animal: they come in either flash (up to
about 8gb I think) or hard drive (up to 500gb). The hard drives,
especially the larger ones, need an external power suply while
small ones (60gb and smaller normally) and all flash models need
only the power from a usb port. If you buy one, test it first to
ensure it will work properly with the mPower. Keep in mind that
some drives require you to press the reset button with the drive
in before they will work. hope this helps some. Oh, I would buy
everything from http://www.newegg.com if I were you; their prices
are unbeatable.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] new Voice note QT user
Hello all,
I've just received my first Humanware product, the Voice note QT
with software version 7.2
I was wondering if I should have received version 7.5 or is the
version I have the most up to date?
Also, I am to go out and buy a flash card. I believe a 5 GB card
should do me, for now, so I am wondering if there are certain
card types I should gravitate towards? Any I should totally
avoid?
Thanks and I look forward to all this list may offer,
Rick
