Use active sinc to copy the files from your P"C to the Braillenote. I used Windows 98 SE up till last year so It worked for me for three years. Just a warning large files don't like transfering. Which is why i went to choice two. 2. Purchase a compact flash card reader, a Compact Flash card, and if you have the old board for the BN a pcmcia Adaptor for Compact Flash. This was a truly great investment, cost me about $80 and I suspect it is a lot cheaper now. But this is how i edit all the books I do for bookshare. I copy them from the computer onto a compact flash card, and then pop that into the braillenote. Edit the files, export back to .rtf or .txt if .rtf doesn't work and then copy them back to the computer and upload them. I haven't tried using the DSL modem to connect the BN to the internet yet. I am awaiting the money for the next SMA. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

Mine is blocked by a firewall in our wireless router that I can't work around. So I am still using Internet Explorer. Shelley L.

I'd really like to know why my computer has an allergy to Bookshare, but I guess there are more important things in life, such as lunch. <lol> Kellie -- No virus found in this incoming message.
