Hi. Version 5.1 and greater doesn't have a format utility. At 3/10/2005, you wrote:
Never! I mean "Never", format any media on the Braillenote. There is a known, long lasting bug in the BN's format utility. You will need to format media on a PC.

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 Mueller ----- Original Message ----- >From: Paul Henrichsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[email protected] >Date: Tue, 08 Mar 2005 22:47:48 -0800 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Trepidation >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>. >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
