Okay, this brings to mind several adages like there being more than meets the eye and the one about walking a mile in one's moccasins. Besides, I had forgotten that you had mentioned dyslexia before. That would qualify you by itself. "I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world." Eugene V.

You will need a cable that is USB "A" male to USB "A" female. The one that came with the Stream is USB "A" female to USB "B" male. The "A" is the standard sized connecter that is on the end of flash drives and any other cable that plugs into the computers' USB ports.The "B" is the small size port that the portable devices like to use.

ILA has the cable, too. Then, you can transfer the same way you dowith a card.earlier, Jean C.
