Hello Brenda: I can answer one of your questions as far as formatting the card. You don't have to, it is originally formatted to FAT which is FAT 16. Just think of it as a large floppy drive. A floppy drive using the 3.5 floppy disk is 1.44 megs and dedepending on the card and in my case I have a 256 meg card which is kind of like roughly 170 floppy disks.
I hope this makes a little sense.

They look like rectanguler things. The one I want to get goes in the back with no adapter. What I want to know is do you have to format them as you used to have to do with disks in a disk drive? Can you read the file you store there without loading it into your system? Another question is how reliable is the storage there, on those new memory things? I don't intend to keep them plugged in all the time. I just want to be able to store things on them and know how it works; can I read directly from them or have to load it into Braille note to read it? One more question: Will the system just treat them as another place to read from? > > Someone asked another person how she liked her Braille Note. I'll tell you one thing.
