Hmm, please forgive my naivete, but wouldn't that cut down on the portability of the Icon or Braille+, assuming that the larger drives will someday available for the Braille+ as well? Then again, I'm coming from a Braille 'n Speak directly to a Braille+, so I'm so dazzled and amazed by what this newer technology does, not having had a braille notetaker to compare with. Thanks for educating me.

No, you are getting a new 40GB drive and a 30GB used external drive. The problem is that if you wanted you could buy a 80GB external for about $49 to hook to your Icon. So, $200 more for an external drive with half as much storage room is way out of line. If you could telll me that this external drive has something that makes it much more accessible, or that it is some how easier to use, etc.; then I might understand. But, it is a little difficult to understand how it could be any easier than plugging in a USB cable into the Icon cable and you are ready to go.
