Celeste:
Although you've probably gotten more answers than you wanted, the short
answer is no. Viruses for a PC won't work on a Braille Sense or Voice Sense.
A virus would have to be specifically designed for these note-takers and the
odds of this happening are pretty small.

I asked this question a while back. Can the GW notetakers get a virus.
The answer I got back was no because they don't support cookies. Now that
they do, has that changed and if so, what should one do to prevent them?

Have an awesome blessed day!

Subject: [GWN] Experimetns with Braille sense
Hi folks,
Thanks to somebody who let me borrow a Braille Sense for several weeks,
I'm
performing some tests and doing a few experiments The specs is BSO with
5.5
firmware (in Korean). So far:
* The seven program limit: When a user attempts to run more than 7
programs,
BSO says that only 7 programs can be run at once and does not run the 8th
program.
* Word processor: After testing a few large documents, I have determined
that BSO would handle documents up to around 2.4 to 2.6 MB in size. I had
a
book that was 3.6 MB in size and it opened only about two-thirds before
the
memory manager alerting me (via HIMS interface) that the file was too
long.
This would be on the BSO - I expect BSP userP to not have this problem.
* Wi-Fi and AES: I can confirm that AES is not supported, although WPA2
Personal is listed as one of the security modes. If WPA or WPA2 is
selected,
TKIP is automatically selected.
* At least BSO recognizes my 500 GB Western Digital portable hard drive -
may take several attempts at this, as connecting to the USB port on first
try didn't do it (although connection message was given).
* Battery removal: When the battery is removed, BSO enters temporary
standby
mode. When the battery is reconnected (with the power still on), it
resets
itself.
Few hypothetical things:
* In theory, it is possible to change the startup sound on the BSP - the
only thing needed would be the name of the startup sound file. Since
default
ones are stored in ROM, you can get those back via hard Reset.
At the moment these are my findings...
Cheers,
Jsoeph
