Thanks James for that. It makes sense indeed. Should I wait to get the extra RAM before updating?

Eleanor,The reason I updated the bios on my NC10 was because I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB, so though hey, why not update the bios as there was an update available.-----Original Message----- From: Eleanor Burke <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sunday, January 11, 2009 08:33:55 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Byos If not the screen reader Steve what about the magnification?

Or have you done it successfully?All the bestSteve-----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ibrahim Gucukoglu Sent: Sunday 11 January 2009 18:28 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: ByosHi Steve.If your using a bios update through dos as some bios updates are still done that way, I agree that sighted assistance is desirable in case something should go wrong. However, the majority of new laptops and desktop computersand variants there of use windows-based bios flashing utilities. The NC10is a good example of this.All the best, Ibrahim----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 5:00 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: ByosHi Chris,Always one to over-react, aren't you? <Smile>.It is not asking for trouble to update the BIOS, it certainly should be done.
