fair enough. Didn't see the email. Get loads of it every day, too much is junk and I wasn't interested at first anyway, just saw so many messages I wondered what the fuss was about that's all. How long though until someone creats a virus looking like it's a voice mail?
Don't respond it's well off topic but I don't know many using this kind of service in the UK, so didn't think about it.

Stop puzzling yourselves with the reason why a user would want to play short .wav files on the BN. Think of the situations where a person would find that playing short .wav files he/she needs to listen to using the Braille/VoiceNote is the only option available. In my first post about this, where I gave the instructions on how to play the wave files, I've already mentioned a use for this and yet I don't think people read that part or that message. There are times when a person receives a .wav file as an attachment to an e-mail, and where the wave file is a recording of a message. I know that AOL has this AOLByPhone thing where people can send quick sound files to people. As to why a person would send someone a voice message rather than an e-mail, the reasons vary and frankly, as the recipient of the message, I DON'T FREAKING CARE. My problem would be how to listen to it. For someone who has a computer aside from the BrailleNote, of course I can listen to the sound file using the computer. For a person who does not have anything to use other than his BrailleNote, that person would find it a great thing to be able to listen to the voice message using the BrailleNote, rather than look for a friend who has a computer, find a way to transfer the wave file from the BN through ActiveSync or a card reader, make sure that the friend is not around so that he can listen to the sound file with privacy, blah blah blah. And these voice messages are not that long to make a wave file too large to be played on the BN. I know this for certain because I've received such voice messages and have played them on the BN when I received them while I was out and couldn't wait to get home just to listen to it. Thus, being able to play at most 3.5 MB of a wave file on the BN is a good thing, stop knocking it just because you don't find use for it. The question should be: Can PDI configure KeySoft so that the functions that require use of space in the already limited Keysoft Systems Disk will no longer depend on that space? Examples of such functions are the playing of wave files, the download of files from the internet, dummy files of documents being edited, to name those I can think of right now. As for the wave files being used by the BN, the chime you hear after a reset is executed and before the BN starts talking is the startup.wav file in the Windows folder of the Keysoft Systems Disk. When you connect to your computer via Active Sync, you hear a sound indicating successful connection and that's the infbeg.wav file. If you end the ActiveSync connection, you hear the infend.wav file played. And when the connection is interrupted, you hear infintr.wav. But there are more .wav files in that folder that are not used which makes you think, "What a waste of space". However, if I'm not mistaken, they come with Windows CE regardless of whether they are used by the BrailleNote or not.
