Hi Roselle, Right now, at this very moment, my total disk size is 8065792 characters. I still have to delete some temp files though. I should say that once, my BrailleNote told me I had 14 megabytes free on this disk, which I knew was inaccurate, so it could have been reporting inaccurately when it told me my total space was around 9 megabytes. The reason I assumed this was true was because it had been telling me this since I'd gotten my BN back from service in December, and it's only seemed to change now, when I did a hard reset, so that I could make sure I was telling you the right thing. I would have told you I definitely had 9 megs, but now I'm a little confused because my numbers are changing. In February, someone had written about a bug in KeySoft, which caused inaccurate results to be reported as to the amount of free and total disk space in drives larger than 1 megabyte. I asked if this was the case with smaller drives, and I was told not, but maybe it was just a one-time thing for me. I really don't know what's going on, but I'll check in a few days, and get back to you on the numbers. My appologies to everyone if it does turn out that the numbers were wrong for awhile, because I know this can be misleading. Maria
