It might or might not be crap, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the BrailleNote! All this will do is cause a lot of unnecessary panic. Remember, our BrailleNotes and VoiceNotes are not vulnerable to standard Windows viruses. While I'm sure that there are people on the other lists this was sent to who are glad for the warning, this message did not need to be on this list. This is, of course, just my opinion and should in no way be taken as anything else. So, for all of us who use our BN/VN's for Email, don't worry, we are safe. Besides, anyone I don't know who sends me an ECard, (or pretty much anything else), gets deleted as a matter of course.
