Hi, Brenda. Sorry about that. I guess the disk thing will be taken care of
with 6.1.1. Regarding wireless, the routers usually have some sort of
security built in like wep. You don't have to pay any more to your ISP. You
just log in as usual. My router, a linksys, has three or four ports on the
back. My wife and I are still connected to these via wires, but then there
are two little antenae on top that allow her to use her wireless laptop and
me to use my bn. It's pretty neat.
I don't remember what I paid for my wireless router, but I don't remember
it being more than 100 dollars, probably less.

Paul,
Wait a minute. I'm sorry for the misimpression. It wasn't Compact flash
cards that i want to format.
I want to be able to format new disks, the ones that go in a disk drive.
I have the disk drive from Pdi, but can't format the disk before using it,
and you're supposed to be able to do that. Thanks for the opportunity to
clarify this. I'm using an old Braille and Speak to format disks before I
use them. They have to be formatted. I was saying Voice Note and Braille
Note should have that capability.
If you don't mind. One more question. My impression is that you can get
some kind of card to go wireless, but then what? Do you have to pay for a
whole another ISp, or can you log into the one you have? What about security?

>Brenda. I feel I have to jump in here. I really think you are bloweing
this way out of proportion. I will start by saying that I do agree with
you about PDI or humanware's tech support. They really need to do this in
a more timely manner. I also have called numerous times and waited on
hold for nothing, but as far as the upgrade, I just downloaded 47
messages twice. The first time was just to see if I could do it. I read
your message, but had erased everything. I downloaded it again just
because I wanted to reply to your message.
>First of all, you don't need to format a flash card. There should be no
reason that you should format one. They come already formatted. Regarding
email, well, I just downloaded 47 messages twice just so I could reply to
you. Obviously, email isn't broken beyond repair. Sometimes, it might
take more than once, but is that with everyone or just five or six of us
on this list?
>I downloaded 272 messages the other day. If I wasn't with SBC, would I
have the same problems? who knows.
>By the way, I am sitting here in my recliner listening to blind justice
emailing this to you wirelessly. No problems at all.
>Yes. PDI had better come up with a patch ASAP. Yes. Their tech support
sucks big time as far as getting a timely answer. But try to keep things
in perspective.
>The upgrade isn't that bad. And why would you want to format a flash
card anyway? Well, I better send this to the list wirelessly. The
commercials are almost over and we will see what is going on blind
justice. By the way, My area has no audio description. Now there's
something to get upset about<grin>.
