Bob,
Yes, I download the braille file and before it was no problem typing in my
password. I may try renaming the file as well. I hope that works because I
still love to read braille as well, just don't like the hard copies because of
space issues.

Hi D.
Since you are using an older Braille note--and it's been a while since I've
used one--a trick we used to do with zipped files was to rename the .zip file
as a .bks file, and they opened just fine.
Now, I'm not sure what the bn will do with the password that is now required.
I would also think you would want to download the Braille file instead of the
daisy file, as daisy wasn't thought of when the bn was first put out.
Hope this helps.
Bob

Thanks, I'll have a look. If it was years ago, maybe it's in the NLS files.

I read a book years ago about the Irish Potato Famine but I can't
remember what it was. It was fiction but of course was in that time and about
how one family dealt with the Famine, I think.
I just can't remember.

Courtney,
I have read no books about Michael Collins, I'm looking for anything so
if
you can send suggestions my way, I'd be delighted. I hope when you
scan the
books, I can download them into my brailleNote but we'll see.
I read Trinity a long time ago and wanted to read that again so I'll be
looking for that too.
Thanks.
